Grant Park Revisited |

Those of us who remember the other Grant Park, the Grant Park of 1968 and all the pain of that era look at Grant Park now, at the faces with tears of streaming joy, and we say yes, 40 years in the wilderness has brought us to this time.
Now, let’s roll up our sleeves… the hard work begins.

Rolled up and ready to go!
Hi PS,
You’re right about 1968 and Grant Park. I haven’t been to Chicago since I was a little boy in 1963, but I do remember very well the news reports about the Democratic Convention and the riots that occurred there.
It is good to see the revival of the Democratic Party with a celebration of victory in the same park. 1968 to 2008 — 40 years, but it seems longer than that.
Bullseye PS, thank you.
For all who remember the Chicago Police at war with U.S. citizens, please digg this.
