Chicago 1968

February 13, 2012 photog blogs

Delos Hall of CBS News being interviewed after he was clubbed in the head from behind, knocked to the ground and then beaten on the night of August 27th, 1968 by police while covering the arrests of protestors at the National Democratic Convention in Chicago.

Hall wasn’t the only photog who went down that night. James Strickland of NBC was also attacked by the same group of police while trying to film the attack upon his colleague.
