Riot Turns into Bloody Battle at Grant Park Stage
In Chicago during the week of the 1968 Democratic National Convention thousands of youths stormed a Grant Park stage after performers failed to appear. Rioters battled police, smashed windows, looted displays, and set cars ablaze while a police helicopter broadcast riot warnings. Dozens arrested, many injuries, shots fired, and about six hours of chaos. The unrest spread downtown as crowds roamed State Street amid 90 degree heat.
