Abbot Howard "Abbie" Hoffman (November 30, 1936 – April 12, 1989) was a political and social activist who came into prominence in the 1960s when he co-founded the Youth International Party ("Yippies") and was a member of the “Chicago Eight,” the group that was tried for conspiracy and inciting to riot during the 1968 Democratic National Convention.
