THIS WEEK ON THE VIKING YOUTH POWER HOUR...
The People Inside: The Viking Youth Interview Abbie Hoffman
In true Viking style we offer you this week a scoop 40 years in the making. Field correspondant Tom LaPorte brings us a 23 minute interview he held with anarchist, guerrilla clown, and stand-up revolutionary Abbie Hoffman back in 1969 during the Chicago 7 Conspiracy Trials.
We split the interview into 5 pieces, give listen and then comment upon each section. Topics range from the binding of Bobby Seale, the trial of the press, the meaninglessness of reform, and the future of judicial law in America.
Almost 40 years after the interview, Hoffman's words still buzz with relevance and hum with an electrical current vital to today's political climate.
Who will be the conduit for these words tomorrow?
