A Small Slice of the Chicago Eight Trial
A Small Slice of the Chicago Eight Trial Ellen S. Podgor* The Chicago Eight trial was not the typical criminal trial, in part because it occurred at a time of society’s polarization, student demonstrations, and the rise of the House Un-American Activities Committee. Charges were levied against eight defendants, who were individuals that represented leaders in a variety of movements and groups during this time. This Essay examines the opening stages of this trial from the lens of a then relatively new criminal defense attorney, Gerald Lefcourt. It looks at his experiences before Judge Julius Hoffman and highlights how strong, steadfast criminal defense attorneys can make a difference in protecting key constitutional rights and values. Although judicial independence is crucial to a system premised on due process, it is also important that lawyers and law professors stand up to misconduct and improprieties.

Poetics of Protest: a Fluxed History of the 1968 DNC (A Dialogue for Six Academic Voices)
Liminalities: A Journal of Performance Studies Vol. 8, No. 4, September 2012 Poetics of Protest: A Fluxed History of the 1968 DNC (A Dialogue for Six Academic Voices) Tom Lavazzi Commentator/Over Voice (CO; as described below)/Conductor (“Panel Chair”) Documents (“objective”) Fluxedout (Fluxed; Fluxus attitude) New Historical Left (NHL; based on “old” and “new” New Left and New Historicist voices) The Institute for Cultural Studies (TICS; an institutionalized postmodern academic voice) Yippedout (Yipped; Yippie! Doubling occasionally as “Lecturer”) Poetics of Protest is staged as a typical (atypical) academic conference panel presentation. At the front of the room are two long tables, one for the panelists and another for props. Props overflowing the table may also be ranged around the room, redeploying chalkboard ledges, windowsills, and floor margins, marking the space’s boundaries. Redeployed, theoretically fortified cereals (i.e., empty boxes)—Zizek 0sTM, Blau PopsTM, Lucky Deleuze, Baudrillard PuffsTM, Foucault Flakes, etc.—are suspended from the ceiling. There is also a podium, a data projector and projection screen1 displaying an interactive image map of Chicago, circa 1968, highlighting the Amphitheatre and key riot and protest sites, and, optionally, a video monitor on which the audience may view muted interviews with Yippies. Projected on the podium and the floor directly in front of the podium—slow motion and stop-action scenes from Brett Morgen’s animated documentary of the Chicago 8 trial, Chicago 102; the panelists pause, at intervals, to act out—or rather, act with, re-act (to), comment on via serial tableau vivant--fragments of these scenes, Tom Lavazzi is Professor of English at KBCC-CUNY. -

CONTACT: Nanda Dyssou, Publicist [email protected] (424)-226-6148 Conspiracy In The Streets The Extraordinary Trial of the Chicago Seven THE TRIAL THAT IS NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE Reprinted to coincide with the release of the new Aaron Sorkin film, this book provides the political background of this infamous trial, narrating the utter craziness of the courtroom and revealing both the humorous antics and the serious politics involved Opening at the end of 1969—a politically charged year at the beginning of Nixon’s presidency and at the height of the anti-war movement—the Trial of the Chicago Seven (which started out as the Chicago Eight) brought together Yippies, antiwar activists, and Black Panthers to face conspiracy charges following massive protests at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, protests which continue to have remarkable contemporary resonance. The defendants—Rennie Davis, Dave Dellinger, John Froines, Tom Hayden, Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Bobby Seale (the co-founder of the Black Panther Party who was ultimately removed from the trial, making it seven and not eight who were on trial), and Lee Weiner— openly lampooned the proceedings, blowing kisses to the jury, wearing their own judicial robes, and bringing a Viet Cong flag into the courtroom. Eventually the judge ordered Seale to be bound and gagged for insisting on representing himself. Adding to the theater in the courtroom an array of celebrity witnesses appeared, among them Timothy Leary, Norman Mailer, Arlo Guthrie, Judy Collins, and Allen Ginsberg (who provoked the prosecution by chanting “Om” on the witness stand). Author: Jon Wiener This book combines an abridged transcript of the trial with astute commentary by historian Format: Print, Ebook and journalist Jon Wiener, and brings to vivid life an extraordinary event which, like Woodstock, came to epitomize the late 1960s and the cause for free speech and the right Pages: 304 pages to protest—causes that are very much alive a half century later. -
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. -
