Holiday Card of the Committee to Defend the Conspiracy
Holiday card from the Committee to Defend the Conspiracy. The front is a picture of seven defendants that were under indictment for criminal conspiracy during the mass demonstrations of protest that occurred at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in 1968. The eighth, Bobby Seale, is not pictured. The Committee was formed to raise money for their defense and to clarify the critical political and civil libertarian issues at stake. Inside reads: "Make a New Year's Revolution, Join the Conspiracy". Below are the signatures of Abbie Hoffman, Rennie Davis, John Froines, Lee Weiner, Tom Hayden, Dave Dellinger and Jerry Rubin. At the bottom it reads: "we get by with a little help from our friends: Committee To Defend The Conspiracy: 28 E. Jackson Blvd., Chicago, Ill. 60604". Offset lithography. |
