Event Details

This document appears to be a page from a memoir or political essay included in House Oversight evidence files. The unidentified author reflects on the political evolution from the violent 1968 Chicago DNC protests to the peaceful 2008 Obama victory celebration in the same location (Grant Park), questioning if the election signaled a nonviolent revolution. The text concludes with a quote from Harry Chapin about hope and a cynical parenthetical note stating the author was eventually disappointed.
