January 19, 1968

I’d like to tell you what I’m thinking, but it’s not a good idea because someone might read it. I could endanger other people and that wouldn’t be good.

I asked someone today if he kept a journal, for his thoughts. To keep track of his political evolution. He said it was highly unorthodox, considering how much heat is always on us. But it might also make for good literature, in another time and place. I should be careful because it could entrap me if anyone ever found it.

So I begin. Since I don’t give a shit about Coleman right now, I can tell you that I think he’s back with his funky gang again. Since I started working at the offices, I’m putting the kibosh on him for a while. That means not seeing him at the offices either.

About Project 1968

  • Started in January 2008, Project 1968 is a blog docu-novel about the lives of two young women on their way to the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago.

    It is a way to look at the day-to-day happenings from 40 years earlier. It was created solely by independent writer and researcher, Laura Axelrod.

    Janine Stephenson, an 18-year old freshman from the University of Wisconsin, took the semester off to campaign for Senator Eugene McCarthy. She is accompanied by her best friend, Becca.

    Amy, a 23-year old anti-war protester, works at a well-known peace group in Chicago.
