Hell Week

Calm So Far

Chicago got a taste Sunday of what protesters could have in store for the city this week when the Democratic National Convention finally gets underway.

Plenty of big tests still lay ahead. Among them is what’s been billed as a massive protest against the Israel-Hamas war that’s set to begin at noon Monday at Union Park.

But protesters made their presence known Sunday, the day before the convention opens, with a march that began at Michigan Avenue and Wacker Drive. It continued south to the Gen. John Logan Monument in Grant Park, which appeared in iconic photos from the Democratic National Convention held in Chicago in 1968.
