Who were the Seattle Seven?

The Seattle Liberation Front, or SLF, was a radical anti-Vietnam War movement, based in Seattle, Washington, in the United States. The group, founded by the University of Washington visiting philosophy professor and political activist Michael Lerner, carried out its protest activities from 1970 to 1971.

Two months later, a federal grand jury indicted eight of the protesters for conspiracy to plan a riot. They were Michael Abeles, Joe Kelly, Michael Justesen, Michael Lerner, Susan Stern, Roger Lippman, Jeff Dowd and Chip Marshall.
