  • WALTER CRONKITE – IMAGE #7 the 1968 Democratic National
    WALTER CRONKITE – IMAGE #7 The 1968 Democratic National Convention, held from August 26th through August 29th, was a very important event in the political and cultural history of the United States. Throughout 1967 and 1968 the antiwar movement in the nation grew more volatile at the same time that inner-city ghettos were seething with tension and exploding into flames. The historian Garry Wills wrote, “There was a sense everywhere, in 1968, that things were giving way. That man had not only lost control of his history, but might never regain it.” The primary cause of the demonstrations and the subsequent riots during the 1968 convention in Chicago was opposition to the Vietnam War. Young peace activists had met at a camp in Lake Villa, Illinois, on March 23 to plan a protest march at the convention. Antiwar leaders coordinated efforts with over 100 antiwar groups. These leaders included: David Dellinger, editor of Liberation Magazine and chairman of the National Mobilization Committee to End War in Vietnam; Rennie Davis, head of the Center for Radical Research and a leader of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS); Vernon Grizzard, a draft resistance leader; and Tom Hayden, also a leader of the SDS. Other groups related to this effort also planned events. Jerry Rubin, a former associate of Dellinger, and Abbie Hoffman were both leaders of the Youth International Party, better known as the YIPPIES. These two men planned a Youth Festival with the goal of bringing over 100,000 young adults to Chicago. They tried to get a permit from Chicago to hold a YIPPIE convention.
