	1968 Democratic National Convention - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 1968 National Convention of the U.S. Democratic Party was held at International Amphitheatre in Chicago, Illinois, from August 26 to August 29, 1968, for the purposes of choosing the Democratic nominee for the 1968 U.S. presidential election.
		The convention achieved notoriety due to clashes between protesters and police, and due to the generally chaotic atmosphere of the event.
		The confusion of the convention, and the unhappiness of many liberals with the outcome, led the Democrats to begin reforms of their nominating process, increasing the role of primaries and decreasing the power of party delegates in the selection process.

	AllPolitics - Democratic National Convention
		The primary cause of the demonstrations and the subsequent riots during the 1968 Chicago convention was opposition to the Vietnam War.

		The eight civilians, dubbed the "Chicago 8," were the first persons to be charged under provisions of the 1968 Civil Rights act, which made it a federal crime to cross state lines to incite a riot.
