About this listen
The 2024 Democratic National Convention came to Chicago amid a series of strange parallels to the 1968 convention in the same city: the incumbent president withdrew from his reelection campaign, the vice president was nominated without running in the primaries, students organized a national protest movement against a war, a major candidate was shot, someone named Robert F. Kennedy was running for president.
Justin and John sit down with Michael Koncewicz, a historian at New York University, to discuss these overlaps. Michael is currently working on a biography of Tom Hayden, the anti-war activist who stood trial as one of the "Chicago 7" blamed for violence at the 1968 convention.
