Chairman, most delegates to this convention do not know that thousands of young people are being beaten in the streets of Chicago.

And for that reason, and that reason alone, I request the suspension of the rules for the purpose of adjournment for two weeks at 6 p .m.

To relocate the convention in another city of the choosing of the Democratic National Committee and the presidential candidates, Wisconsin is not recognized for that purpose! I'm trying to complete my statement, sir.

This film is part of a seven part module or educational film series ("The Urban Crisis and the New Militants") produced by The Film Group that, "teach by raising questions rather than by attempting to answer them."
