“A radical pacifist, the American-born David Dellinger, who has died aged 88, spent his life involved in non-violent action against war and oppression. But his most prominent role was as elder statesman of the Chicago Eight, the disparate group of radicals who were charged with conspiring to incite riots around the 1968 US Democratic party convention” (Michael Carlson, The Guardian, Friday May 28, 2004)

In the 1930’s Dellinger lived for a time as a tramp in the train yards of Chicago and the greater Midwest.

At the age of 85, Dellinger, then a resident of the Northeast Kingdom in Vermont, hitchhiked to Quebec City to protest the North American Free Trade Agreement.

The album also contains the name of Fisk Dellinger. Unknown relationship to David Dellinger.
