Wholesale The Chicago 7 (Conspiracy 8) Tea Towel

The Chicago 7 were seven defendants - Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, David Dellinger, Tom Hayden, Rennie Davis, John Froines and Lee Weiner - charged by the US federal government with conspiracy, crossing state lines with intent to incite a riot, and other charges related to the anti-war protests in Chicago during the 1968 Democratic National Convention. The Chicago Eight became the Chicago Seven after the case against co-defendant Bobby Seale was declared a mistrial. The trial lasted for several months, during which the Chicago 7 rose to international fame, icons of the countercultural anti-war movement. In 2020, a film about their trial was released, starring Eddie Redmayne and Sacha Baron Cohen. Our tea towel is inspired by a contemporary poster in support of "the Conspiracy 8".
