Description: New York, Weekly Guardian Associates, 1966. Tabloid. Side folding tabloid newspaper. 12 pp. Black and white photos throughout. Single issue of this long running, left leaning newspaper. Originally established in 1948 to support the Progressive Party candidate for president, the focused on a variety of issues from a left wing, liberal viewpoint. While originally thought to be associated with the Communist Party of the USA, it was not, although held sympathetic views. Dissension within the paper in 1970 led to a splinter paper being formed. It was noted for its coverage of the Civil Rights movement, as well as for asserting the Rosenbergs were innocent of espionage charges. This issue features several lengthy pieces on the Meredith March and its immediate legacy in Mississippi, better known as the March Against Fear. Originally undertaken by activist James Meredith in order to dispel fear of registering to vote among the Black community, he was shot by a white man, and while not seriously wounded, could not continue the march. At that point other civil rights leaders rallied to take up the march, including Martin Luther King Jr. and Stokely Carmichael (Kwame Ture). The march grew to be the largest in Mississippi's history, with over 15,000 people participating. At the end Carmichael gave a speech in which he first used the term "Black Power." One article discusses, what, if any gains were made by the activists; briefly discusses the term Black Power, and looks at the white power infrastructure in the government. The other provides a look at both Black marchers and citizens, and whites upset with the march. GOOD condition. Horizontal fold crease present. Moderate toning. A few tears along the fold edges. Paper somewhat brittle. Minor wrinkling. Good .
