Noel King和Rick Perlstein探讨了1968年和2024年民主党全国代表大会在芝加哥举行的相似之处，以及两者在抗议活动和社会背景方面的异同。他们分析了1968年民主党全国代表大会期间发生的暴力冲突，以及这些事件对美国政治的影响。Perlstein指出，虽然两者表面上存在相似之处，例如都在芝加哥举行，都有抗议活动，但两者在很多方面存在根本性的差异，例如总统候选人的提名方式、抗议活动的组织方式以及执法部门的应对方式等。他认为，将两者简单类比是不准确的，2024年的事件将有其自身的动机和原因。 Hussam Marajda和Nazik Sankari代表美国巴勒斯坦社区网络芝加哥分会，他们参与了2024年民主党全国代表大会期间的抗议活动。他们强调了结束美国对以色列的援助，并向加沙提供人道主义援助的需求。他们认为，美国有责任制止加沙冲突，并呼吁采取实际行动，而不是空谈和平。他们表示，将继续为巴勒斯坦的解放而斗争，直到历史上的巴勒斯坦得到解放。

As a historian of US politics he is often called upon to draw comparisons between today’s events and those of the past. This year in particular, the echoes with 1968 are unavoidable: the DNC is again in Chicago, there are protests outside (this time its about Gaza, then it was civil rights).
