This intriguing poster advocates for people to join the 1969 "Days of Rage" street demonstrations in Chicago. The radical antiwar left organized this event, which included protesting the trial of the Chicago Eight as a goal. According to the Smithsonian, the Eight had been charged with conspiracy to incite the rioting that marked Chicago’s 1968 Democratic convention. The Chicago Eight were (clockwise from bottom) Jerry Rubin, Rennie Davis, Bobby Seale, John Froines, David Dellinger, Abbie Hoffman, Lee Weiner and (center) Tom Hayden.
