Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin, circa 1970

Chicago 7

An 11 x 7 in window card signed by Abbie Hoffman, the prominent social and political activist of the 1960s and 1970s. In it, he is pictured wearing a t-shirt that says "Just Say No!," text to printed text which reads "Fight Drug Testing" and "Your rights are at risk!" 

On September 25, 1969, Richard Avedon made his first wall-sized mural portrait of the Chicago Seven. It was first exhibited at the Minneapolis Institute of Art in the summer of 1970 and has since been exhibited in museums around the world. Avedon called the group of defendants "heroic". The Avedon photo was used in thank you cards, holiday greetings, and fundraising requests sent to supporters.This is one of the holiday greetings/fundraising requests sent to supporters. The seven signatures are in the printing plate.

The manuscript show hundreds of changes and corrections in the text made by Hoffman, including several variations of a chapter title, an exorcised pseudonymous author citation ("Agent 12 - Yippie Conspirator"), and evidence of how several of his previously published articles were integrated into the text. The editors' handwritten notations are numerous with corrections throughout, including additions to the end of several chapters, and instructions to the designer for innovative ways to display the text and photo placement. There are also a few additional pages left for a planned promotional poster, a publisher's advertising card, and the list of photo credits.
