January 23, 1970 - Called as witnesses, folksingers Judy Collins, Country Joe McDonald, Arlo Guthrie, Phil Ochs, and Pete Seeger were denied permission to sing as part of their testimony for the defense at the trial of "The Chicago Seven."
Seven leaders of demonstrations at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago were being tried for conspiring to incite a riot as they protested the Vietnam war.

@officialericcrooks Especially when the Yippies and everyone else wasn't able to get a permit and were risking the festival anyway as well as the attempt at camping out in the park.
This would become the Chicago 7 trail. " THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING ! "

What an excellent film:
'The trial of the Chicago seven'
If you haven't watched it -> It is highly recommend. 👍
...and not only because of Sacha Baron Cohen and Eddie Redmayne. 😍
The Trial of the Chicago 7: Directed by Aaron Sorkin. With Eddie Redmayne, Alex Sharp, Sacha Baron Cohen, Jeremy Strong. The story of 7 people on trial stemming from various charges surrounding the uprising at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois.
Re-listening to Kara Swisher's Feb 2021 interview of Sacha Baron "Borat" Cohen, on Internet tech monopolies, fascism, and free speech. Very strongly recommended.
