The organizers of the protest - including Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Tom Hayden and Bobby Seale - were charged with conspiracy to incite a riot and the subsequent trial was one of the most notorious in American history and gave rise to foot to countless social movements at a key time for American society.
