Covid has been kicking my butt, so I'm taking a sick week. I'm reposting my favorite episode on Abbie Hoffman and will be back with a new episode on the Birmingham Children's March on 8/22.
"How can humor be used to fuel a revolution? 1960’s counterculture icon Abbie Hoffman founded the Youth International Party (Yippie) with the goal of stopping the Vietnam War, combatting racism, and tearing down the establishment. To that end, he infiltrated the NY Stock Exchange, exorcised the Pentagon and created guerrilla theater performances. Most famously, he was arrested and tried as part of the Chicago 8. He used the trial to expose the hypocrisies of our justice system and make a mockery of this political show trial.
