  • Abbie Hoffman (Abbot Howard "Abbie" Hoffman) was a political and social activist who co-founded the Yippies (Youth International Party). Born on November 30, [1936]] in Worster, Massachusetts, he was a symbol of youth rebellion in the 1960s. Hoffman died on April 12, 1989.
  • Hoffman was arrested and tried for conspiracy and inciting to riot as a result of his role in protests that led to violent confrontations with police during the 1968 Democratic National Convention, along with Jerry Rubin, David Dellinger, Tom Hayden, Rennie Davis, John Froines, Lee Weiner and Bobby Seale. The group was known collectively as the "Chicago Eight"; when Seale's prosecution was separated from the others, they became known as the Chicago Seven. While the defendants were initially convicted of intent to incite a riot, the verdicts were overturned on appeal.
