In this episode of Crime Time Inc., the hosts delve into the tumultuous events of the 1968 Democratic National Convention, a pivotal moment in American history. The convention, set against the backdrop of the Vietnam War, racial tensions, and the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy, became a focal point for intense political and social upheaval. The episode explores the planning and actions of anti-war groups, such as the MOBE and Yippies, and the response from Chicago's Mayor Richard J. Daley, who aimed to maintain law and order with a heavy police presence, the National Guard, and even the U.S. Army. Key events highlighted include the rising tensions following the police shooting of a teenager, the provocative acts by protesters like nominating a pig for president, and the violent clashes that ensued, especially on August 26th at Grant Park. The narrative vividly describes the police riot, the public's reaction, and the broader implications of these confrontations. The hosts discuss the investigations and differing portrayals by the Walker Report and the City of Chicago's own report, reflecting the divided perspectives on the violence. Additionally, the episode addresses the consequential trial of the Chicago Eight, the political fallout within the Democratic Party, and the lasting impact on American political discourse and protest movements. This episode provides a comprehensive look at the historical significance of the 1968 DNC and its enduring legacy.00:00 Introduction to Crimetime Inc.00:03 Setting the Stage: 1968 Democratic National Convention00:33 Protests and Tensions Rise01:06 Mayor Daley's Law and Order Approach02:59 The Turning Point: August 26th03:11 Chaos in Grant Park04:12 The Whole World is Watching04:56 Inside the Convention Hall06:12 Diverging Reports and Public Opinion08:38 The Trial of the Chicago Eight10:04 Lasting Impacts and Political Reforms12:09 Reflections and Lessons from 196813:02 Weekly Review and Upcoming Episodes Hosted on Acast.

For 21 years, from the mid-1950s to the mid '70s, mayor Richard j. Daly ran the city of Chicago. And I mean he ran the city. One member of Daley's cabinet was a woman named Jane Byrne, who was Chicago's Commissioner of Consumer Sales. Not long after Mayor Daley's death in 1976 Byrne left her city job, and ran for mayor herself in 1979. And against the odds, Byrne won. She became not only Chicago's first female mayor, but the first woman to be elected mayor of any major U.S. city. But 4 years later, when she ran for reelection, the tide that had swept her into office swept her back out again.
