YIPPIE! UCONN PUTS ABBIE HOFFMAN'S UNWASHED SOCKS ON DISPLAY
Wanna check out what's among the Abbie Hoffman memorabilia _ including unwashed socks? The University of Connecticut is displaying about 100 pieces of doodads belonging to the 1960s activist.
The items, including declassified FBI documents related to his arrest at the violent Democratic National Convention in Chicago in 1968, will be exhibited through May 25.
In 1968, Hoffman started the Yippie movement, or Youth International Party, to bring together radicals to protest the Vietnam War.
He gained fame as one of the Chicago Seven, the group of radicals tried on charges of conspiring to disrupt the Democratic Convention. He and four others were acquitted of conspiracy but convicted of crossing state lines with intent to riot. Their convictions were overturned.
Hoffman's family donated the collection to the university after his 1989 suicide at the age of 52.
