A citizens' commission, chaired by Edward J. Sparling, was formed to investigate the 1968 Chicago peace march that ended in police confrontation. The group reconvened to examine the violence associated with the 1968 Democratic National Convention. The second committee, named the Chicago Commission to Study the Disorders of Convention Week, was informally known as the Sparling Commission. The collection contains several drafts of Commission's unpublished report, "Dissent in a Free Society," newspaper clippings, reports, and minutes. Also includes correspondence and memoranda relating to Joseph Evans who was a member of the Commission.
