Abbie Hoffman
Abbott Howard "Abbie" Hoffman was a prominent American social and political activist in the 1960s and 1970s.
He co-founded the Youth International Party ("Yippies") and gained notoriety as part of the Chicago Seven, charged with inciting riots during the 1968 Democratic National Convention.
Hoffman's activism often blended theatrical elements with political protest, embodying the countercultural spirit of the era.
He later became a fugitive after a cocaine dealing conviction, living under an alias.
Hoffman's legacy as a symbol of youth rebellion and radical activism persists, with his self-described anarchist philosophy continuing to influence discussions on social change and protest movements.
