Friends and family of the late civil rights attorney, Leonard Weinglass, gathered in New York City on Friday for a memorial. Speakers included Weinglass’s close friend Tom Hayden. Weinglass represented Hayden during the infamous Chicago Seven trial.

Tom Hayden: “He had this passion to defend people against the bullying powers, whether they were the state, the intelligence agencies, the corporations, whomever. And because he had this professionalism about him, combined with the passion of an activist, he was our last, best hope. He was always looking for the argument that would convince the jury to nullify the case, or convince one juror, one, to refuse to convict.”
