We Can Change the World: Learning from the Past to Fight Injustice
In 1968, the Democratic National Convention protests sparked one of the most infamous trials in U.S. history. The Chicago Seven trial, immortalized in the film The Trial of the Chicago 7 (2020), revealed the deep racism, oppression, and injustice embedded in the American judicial system. One of the most shocking moments was the treatment of Bobby Seale, co-founder of the Black Panther Party, who was bound and gagged in a courtroom—a horrifying symbol of silencing dissent and dehumanizing people of color.
Chicago’s song “Dialogue (Part I & II)” perfectly captures the spirit of resistance and hope during those turbulent times. Its lyrics are a reminder that change is possible, but only if we stand united:
Lyrics: "Dialogue (Part I & II)" by Chicago
Are you optimistic 'bout the way things are going?
No, I never ever think of it at all
*Don't you ever worry when you see what's going down
