"Swinging billy clubs, Chicago riot police hacked their way through 100 yards of a densely packed crowd of young people outside the 1968 Democratic Convention. The demonstrators had assembled to protest the Vietnam War, but the rally collapsed into a riot of savage violence, bloodied faces and tear gas. When the dust settled, eight men were charged with organizing and inciting the revolt. Their trial was more explosive than the riot. For raising their voices in defiance against a grossly biased court and its violations of their liberty, The Chicago 8 were bound and gagged, both symbolically and literally."
