Joining them in Chicago were student supporters of candidate Eugene McCarthy ("Clean for Gene"), supporters of the assassinated Robert F. Kennedy, anti-war activists of all ages, various groups demanding that the Great Society fulfill its social promises, and local activists hoping to secure changes in Chicago.
