1969List910Chicago 1969. Poster. 24 x 20 inches. Minimal wear fine condition. Fine. An iconic poster protesting the arrest of the Chicago 8 on conspiracy charges relating to the protests at the 1968 Democratic Convention. The group originally as eight members consisted of Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin founders of the Youth International Party YIPPIES Tom Hayden a co-founder in Students for a Democratic Society Black Panther Chairman Bobby Seale whose case would be declared a mistrial during the trial leading to his exclusion from the Chicago 7 David Dellinger and Rennie Davis members of the National Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam MOBE and John Froines and Lee Weiner. The address 28 E. Jackson was a building where Rennie Davis rented a space so it is possible that the MOBE printed this though we cannot confirm. unknown books
1969List911Chicago 1969. 21 1/4 x 29 1/4 inches. Some light toning and edgewear near fine condition overall. The first example of this poster we have encountered which shows Judge Julius Hoffman Chicago Mayor Richard Daley and President Richard Nixon. We find no other records and can only assume it was produced in the same era as the previous offering as it bears the same address of 28 E. Jackson. unknown books
