1968 Democratic National Convention/Police Riots
Yesterday, the Chicago Tribune published a story about the reunion for the 1968 Democratic National Convention/Police Riots.
Los Angeles Times women’s page editor Maggie Savoy (shown above speaking at the University of Missouri in the 1960s) was gassed at the riots. She was in Chicago to cover the “women’s angle” of the Convention. This event was mentioned in Jim Bellows’ book, The Last Editor.
My article about Maggie ran in California History this past Spring.
