THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION 1968
Thirty years ago, as a politically aware 16 year old, I wanted to take the local Chicago suburban train into the Loop to join in the protests at the Democratic National Convention. Eugene McCarthy was my anti-Vietnam War candidate. My father refused to let me make the trip, concerned with the possibility of riots.
I listened to my father. Thanks, dad. Saturday was the 20th anniversary of his death. May his memory be for a blessing.
