Remembering Mayday 1971


For the Aspen Times Weekly

This past Mayday marked the 50th anniversary of what was one of the last effective mass protests in Washington D.C. before the Black Lives Matter rally nearly half a century later. Demonstrators from all over the country convened for large-scale civil disobedience actions aimed at interfering with business as usual in the nation’s capitol.
I was 18 in 1971, a year out of Aspen High School and imminently draftable. People had been marching in America and Aspen for years to encourage our leaders to get us out of Vietnam, but instead the war was escalating. And those protesting it were being shot at Kent and Jackson State universities – 26 of them in one eleven-day period in 1970. Six died. The message seemed pretty clear: you should be prepared to sacrifice your life if you wanted to keep taking to the streets. A more direct attempt at a chilling effect was hard to imagine. And it worked.

There are moments in “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” which opens at the Kendall Square this weekend and comes to Netflix Oct. 16, when the echoes volleying back and forth between the events of 1968-1970 and the protests and political landscape of today don’t seem like echoes at all but statements in unison. A shot of the Chicago police removing their badges before wading into crowds with clubs. The death of a Black man that would more properly be termed an execution. A witness reminding the courtroom and the audience that “the president is not the client of the attorney general.”

With six nominations including Best Picture, Netflix’s “The Trial of The Chicago 7″ heads into Oscar weekend riding high, following months of acclaim for the Aaron Sorkin-directed film.
But the drama’s depiction of the infamous political trial, where a ragtag group of anti-Vietnam War activists were tried by President Richard Nixon’s Justice Department, was heavily sanitized and romanticized for Hollywood, said Lee Weiner, one of the last two living members of the notorious seven.
