- Abstract
- Fass covers a Black Panther/Yippie gathering in Chicago during Lyndon B. Johnson's presidency (1963-1969). Events surround August 29, 1968. While not mentioned directly, these are likely the protests of the Democratic Convention of 1968, which occurred August 26-29, 1968. Fass has a conversation with Jerry Rubin about the gathering. Bobby Seale and Ted Kennedy are mentioned. Allen Ginsberg and Jean Genet are interviewed. Police break up a religious gathering in Lincoln park. Various interviews with other gathering participants. The Beatles "Revolution" plays. There is news coverage of the Trial of Bobby Seale, with clips from October 22 and October 27, 1969 focusing on Seale's desire to defend himself in court. On November 5, 1969 there is coverage of Seale's sentencing for contempt of court. There is also audio of Seale speaking after the trial referencing an incident in court when he was bound to his chair and gagged.
