Lee Weiner

    Lee Weiner emerse come una figura significativa durante l'intenso attivismo politico degli anni '60, in particolare per la sua associazione con gli eventi della Convention Nazionale Democratica del 1968. Sebbene assolto dalle accuse relative all'incitamento alla sommossa e all'istruzione sulla creazione di ordigni incendiari, il suo coinvolgimento ha messo in luce la carica atmosfera sociale e politica dell'epoca. Le sue esperienze offrono una lente critica attraverso cui comprendere la complessa interazione tra protesta, legge e trasformazione sociale durante un periodo turbolento. La prospettiva di Weiner offre una visione unica delle forze trainanti e delle ramificazioni della disobbedienza civile.

    Conspiracy to Riot: The Life and Times of One of the Chicago 7
    • In March 1969, eight young men were indicted by the federal government for conspiracy to incite a riot. The group included a little-known community activist and social worker named Lee Weiner, who was just as surprised as the rest of the country when his name was called. The ensuing trial of the Chicago 7 was a media sensation, and it changed Weiner's life forever. As he recalls in his memoir, the trial of the Chicago 7 was part of a long tradition of American radicalism that had shaped him from an early age and remain directly relevant to today's efforts to change America for the better. Weiner shows how commitment to your ideals can change your destiny-- for better and for worse. -- adapted from jacket
