Historical Context: Counter-culture packet published by the Youth International Party or Yippies during a time of turmoil in the country especially regarding the Vietnam War. The festival was to coincide with the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago which devolved into violent clashes with the Chicago Police Department resulting in many injuries and arrests. An introductory text was supposedly penned by Jerry Rubin, one of the founding members of the Yippies.
