Event Description:
More than fifty years ago, the Chicago Conspiracy Trial decided the fate of protesters arrested during the 1968 Democratic Convention. The trial was a political, legal and historical landmark that lasted for almost five months.
Jean Fritz was a juror who kept a journal during those five long months of sequestration, recording her own thoughts about the case as the trial progressed. Jean’s daughter, Marjorie Fritz-Birch, an Edgewater resident, will recount the story of her mother's ordeal and her bravery in standing up for what she believed was right.
Free and open to all. Preregistration not required but helps plan.
