Articles in this issue include a look at the horror inflicted on Haiti by its dictator Francois “Papa Doc” Duvalier through the eyes of the Haitian immigrant community in New York City, an exposé on The Law Enforcement Group (a “militant new right wing of the police department”), an opinion piece on workers’ strikes in Nixon’s economy, and much more including art, music, and film reviews.

From our 2016 exhibition Realize Your Desires, of which this work was a part: “Following the landmark Supreme Court decision of 1966 which allowed a more tolerant legal climate for publishers, the ‘Underground Press’ emerged as a site for radical commentary and critique in the US, progressing a number of social movements and shifting the cultural landscape at large. Usually published as weeklies – often in large editions – these publications provided a vibrant space for revolutionary ideas which played out on all fronts of politics and culture, addressing head-on a host of issues including the anti-war movement, black power movement, women’s liberation, gay rights, sexual liberation, and drug culture.”
