Rennard Cordon “Rennie” Davis (born May 23, 1941) is a former, prominent American anti-Vietnam War protest leader of the 1960s. He was one of the Chicago Seven. Davis was the National Director of community organizing programs (the Economic Research and Action Project, or ERAP, in Ann Arbor, Michigan), a project of Students for a Democratic Society. Davis, along with Tom Hayden, organized anti-war demonstrations in Chicago before and during the 1968 Democratic National Convention for the National Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam (“the Mobe”). He has appeared on ''Larry King Live'', Barbara Walters, CNN, Phil Donahue, VH1, and other network programs, and provided advice in business strategies for Fortune 500 companies. Davis grew up in Berryville, Virginia, and is an alumnus of Oberlin College in Ohio. His father was President Harry S. Truman's chief of staff of the Council of Economic Advisers. Davis came back to Chicago for the 1996 Democratic National Convention to speak at the "Festival of Life" in Grant Park and to appear on a panel with Tom Hayden discussing “a progressive counterbalance to the religious right”.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The trial of the Chicago Seven )〕 ==Chicago Seven== (詳細はChicago, Illinois on the occasion of the 1968 Democratic National Convention.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Trial of The Chicago Seven (or Chicago Eight) )〕 The original eight protester/defendants, indicted by the grand jury on March 20, 1969, included Davis, Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, David Dellinger, Tom Hayden, John Froines, Lee Weiner, and Bobby Seale. Seale's case was separated from the others during the early part of the trial. The Chicago Seven defense attorneys were William Kunstler and Leonard Weinglass of the Center for Constitutional Rights. The judge was Julius Hoffman. The prosecutors were Richard Schultz and Tom Foran. The trial began on 24 September 1969, and on 9 October the United States National Guard was called in to join the Chicago police for crowd control as demonstrations grew outside the courtroom.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rennie Davis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
