Student protest newspaper by the "May 2nd Movement"...
Item # 698536
January 01, 1965
FREE STUDENT, New York City, issue number 1 There is no date printed anywhere in this issue, but from the content and what is available online, it would appear to have been printed around 1965. It does state that it is "published by the May 2nd Movement". At least two issues of this title were published.
The May 2nd Movement was formed to fight against a politics of default, specifically by organizing student protest and revolt against the government's savage war on the people of Vietnam.
May 2, 1964, saw the first major student demonstrations against the war in Vietnam. In New York City, 1000 students marched through Times Square to the United Nations to protest what was then called "U.S. intervention" on behalf of the legitimate government of South Vietnam. More than 700 students and young people marched through San Francisco. In Boston, Madison, Wisconsin, Seattle, there were simultaneous smaller demonstrations.
As would be expected the content within is totally focused on protest & student revolt, a predecessor of the "hippie" era that would follow within a few years.
Tabloid-size, 16 pages, very nice condition.
