This poster features an image of a red human figure holding one fist up and leaning over. There is a jagged purple background behind. Purple and red text to the right reads "You Can''t Jail / The Revolu- / Tion / Stop / The / Trial / free the / Chicago / 8".

This was the legal case resulting from the riots at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. The trial of the Chicago 8 became the trial of the Chicago 7 after defendant Bobby Seale was severed from the case. [LMC]
