The Trial of the Chicago 7 in Chicago

Named for U.S. President and Civil War General Ulysses S. Grant, Chicago's Grant Park comprises several city locations: Millennium Park, Buckingham Fountain, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Museum Campus.

But in 1968, as Aaron Sorkin's Netflix film The Trial of the Chicago 7 points out, Grant Park saw major clashes between the Chicago Police Department and demonstrators during the Democratic National Convention.

On this short virtual tour with Chicago Movie Tours, you'll consider Sorkin's 2020 film, Grant Park's history, and one of Chicago's biggest and most imposing pieces of public art.
