4. 1968 Democratic Convention |
|
Grant Park. Lincoln Park. SDS. Hippies.
All we are saying, is give peace a chance.
"The gas rolled in, and the fog rolled out..." Phil Ochs.
Police riots. Kids peacefully demonstrating chased, cornered and beaten. Dan Rather tossed out of the convention hall by Mayor Daley's thugs. Blood in the streets. Chicago 8. Many Americans radicalized, including this one who wasn't even there. Weather people (including Bill Ayers) split from SDS.
It was a momentous moment in a momentous year.
