Roz:
I know that the White Panthers of Ann Arbor "hosted" such a conference
in the fall of 1969 (in the woods, raided at least once by riot
gear-clad police). Abbie Hoffman's "Woodstock Nation" discusses it I
believe.
One "famous" photo which came out of this was of "Pun" and Genie
Plamondon, seated on a bench outside the conference with loaded
shotguns, keeping sentry duty. It was run in many underground papers
just before Pun himself went underground (and I think made into a
poster as well).
John Sinclair, who had been very active in organizing alternative
media in Detroit/Ann Arbor ("Sun," "Fifth Estate," and "Argus") missed
the conference, due to his July, '69 incarceration -- ten years for
two joints.
