Conspiracy to Riot: The Life and Times of One of the Chicago 7 - Hardcover
About the Author:
Lee Weiner was born and raised on Chicago’s south side, in a family involved on the margins of both organized crime and the old Communist Party. His own activist life on the left of American politics began with free-speech demonstrations at the University of Illinois in 1960, included community organizing in desperately poor neighborhoods in Chicago, participation in the demonstrations against the Democratic Party in the summer of 1968, and then indictment and participation in the notorious Chicago 7 political trial in 1969. His later political work included direct response marketing and data analysis for members of Congress and national non-profit organizations. Along the way he collected a couple of Masters Degrees and a PhD in Sociology, 3 wrecked marriages and 6 kids who have mostly forgiven how their father’s commitments to social justice work disrupted their own lives.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: new. First edition. 161pp. Duodecimo [19cm]. Glossy illustrated paper over boards. "In March 1969, eight young men were indicted by the federal government for conspiracy to incite a riot. First dubbed the 'Conspiracy 8' and later the 'Chicago 7,' the group included firebrands like Abbie Hoffman and Bobby Seale, but also 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. But 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. From Weiner's Jewish family's leftist political roots to wild anti-war demonstrations on the streets and high-profile political appointments, Conspiracy to Riot shows how commitment to your ideals can change your destiny for better and for worse.".
