All Eyes on the Chicago Democratic Convention But this week’s Democratic Convention is more like 1932 than 1968. I was among the multitudes of Americans who watched the Chicago Convention on television in August 1968. I was 18 and about to head off for my freshman year in college. I was a new convert to the anti-war movement, but still had a lot of ambivalence about marching in demonstrations. Seeing the Chicago Convention police brutalize protesters in Grant Park, on Michigan Avenue, and outside of the Conrad Hilton Hotel radicalized me. I would never look at our government or our elected political leaders with naive innocence again. In the aftermath of the Chicago Convention, I followed the trial of the Chicago Eight with rapt attention. Defense attorneys Bill Kunstler and Lenny Weinglass became personal heroes of mine. I had the good fortune of working with both as a young lawyer and have never lost my admiration for them. They are among the best advocates our legal profession has produced, and the standards they set are carried forward today by lawyers in the ACLU, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and many other organizations. As the Democrats convene again for their national Chicago Convention, it’s impossible not to see the parallels between 1968 and the present. The host city has never shed its well-earned reputation as a hotbed of aggressive policing. Then, as now, the incumbent president (then Lyndon B. Johnson, now Joe Biden) announced he would not seek reelection during his term, and the party turned to the incumbent vice president (Hubert Humphrey/Kamala Harris) to face off against the Republican Party (Richard Nixon/Donald Trump) in the upcoming election. The country was then involved in a horrendous war in Indochina. Now, it’s Gaza.
