  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Rennie Davis
    Ilian Chicago 7, Sixties Legend RENNIE DAVIS Calls A New Generation To Change the World Again ABOUT THE AUTHOR In a voice reminiscent of Tom Payne’s Common Sense, Chicago 7 Sixties legend Rennie Davis calls a new generation to change the world again. How does the human race cut the Gordian knot on its unsustainable world? How can a new movement emerge in the present time to re-script the human future? This book is a call for a second 1960s to unlock the passion of a new generation and ignite a new way of living on Earth. Rennie Davis was one of the Chicago 7, described by the NY Times as ‘the most significant political trial in U.S. history.’ He was the coordinator of the largest coalition of anti-war and civil rights organizations in the 1960s and organized many of this country's most dramatic public events, including the largest civil disobedience arrest in American history. He coordinated the anti-war demonstrations at the Chicago Democratic Convention, viewed by more people on television than witnessed the first man landing on the moon. He partnered with John Lennon to bring a million people to the Republican National Convention and end the Vietnam war. He is a recognized and respected spokesman of his generation, appearing on CNN, VHI, the CBS Legend Series, Larry King Live, Barbara Walters and other diverse national media forums. He was a leader of a generation that stood down an entrenched racist culture and ended the war in Vietnam. Now he believes a new generation can change the world again.

    DISCUSSION GUIDE A FILM BY BRETT MORGEN THE CONVENTION WAS DRAMA. THE TRIAL WAS COMEDY. Remember Chicago, 1968? Tens of thousands of anti-war protesters stormed the Democratic convention, setting off a chain of explosive and violent confrontations with the police. Well, now history has a new look. Bold and original animation recreate the wild antics of the infamous Chicago Conspiracy Trial, and archival footage and a powerful soundtrack will take you back to the streets of Chicago during that unforgettable summer. WWW.PBS.ORG/INDEPENDENTLENS/GETINVOLVED CHICAGO 10 FROM THE FILMMAKER As I did my research for the film, I became increasingly inspired by I was initially drawn to this subject matter for both political and the work of Abbie Hoffman and the Yippies. What I most admired was cinematic reasons. I wanted to make a film that would remind people their sense of theatrics and their ability to expose injustice through about the importance of exercising one’s constitutional rights. I found humor and charm. I felt that their approach to politics and sense my source of inspiration in the story of the Chicago Conspiracy of imagery would resonate with people today. Although the issues Trial and the 1968 Democratic Convention. I have long admired the that my film deals with are quite serious, I never wanted the film to courage and resilience of both the protestors and the defendants. I become too earnest. I wanted the film to have a sense of humor and wanted to make a film that celebrated their actions and allow a new playfulness while at the same time expose the brutality and violence of generation to witness a story about how far people will go to have the courtroom and Convention week.

Theologically, their teachings are distinguished by an inward, loving devotion to a divine principle, and socially by an egalitarianism opposed to the qualitative distinctions of the Hindu caste system, and to those between Hindus and Muslims.[1] The sant lineage can be divided into two main groups: The northern group of Sants from the provinces of Punjab, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh, who expressed themselves mainly in vernacular Hindi, and the southern group, whose language is archaic Marathi, represented by Namdev and other Sants of Maharashtra. Etymology The expression "Sant Mat" literally means the "Path of Sants (Saints)", "Path of Truth", "Right or Positive Path" or "point of view of the Sants." The term Sant is derived from the Sanskrit sat (सद) and has overlapping usages (true, real, honest, right).
