I stumbled onto this fabulous photo taken in Grant Park in Chicago during the 1968 Democratic Convention (in the first row left to right are: (1) legendary photographer Michael Cooper, the creator of both The Beatles Sgt. Pepper album cover as well as the cover of The Rolling Stones Their Satanic Majesties Request; (2) translator, editor/publisher Richard Seaver, who was an instrumental figure in the decades-long fight against literary censorship; (3) Jean Genet; (4) William Burroughs; and (5) Allen Ginsberg). But the reason Im posting it here on the MSAS page has to do with the identity of the girl just behind Burroughs on the left. Not only does she bear an uncanny resemblance to a particularly beautiful people person whom we all love and admire, but she appears to be the same young girl weve all scrutinized and puzzled over in another black&white photo of a 1960s demonstration thats been posted here and in other Melanie forums over the years. For those of you who dont know what Im talking about, I will search for the other photo for the sake of comparison.
