The 1968 Democratic National Convention

The contentious, political, and cultural conflict of the sixties marked by the Vietnam War, the counterculture movement, and struggles for civil rights was exemplified in the events of the 1968 Democratic National Convention, the civil disturbances and the subsequent Chicago 8 Trial. Even before the convention arrived in Chicago, the American people felt the turbulence of 1968.
