1970 May Day Black Panther Party protests...



Item # 703685

May 07, 1970

THE VILLAGE VOICE (weekly), Greenwich Village, New York City, May 7, 1970

* "May Day" New Haven, Connecticut protests
* Black Panther Party - re. Alex Rackley murder
* Yale University activists - racial justice
* Bee Gees - Cucumber Castle album release


The front page has a heading "Either/Or at Yale: Mayday & the Panthers" with 2 related photos. (see images) Very lengthy coverage continues on multiple inside pages.
Page 37 has a nice advertisement for the release of "Cucumber Castle", a album by the musical group, the Bee Gees.
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because their was really no reason to save it at the time.
It is worth noting that "The Village Voice" was an American news and culture paper, known for being the country's first alternative newsweekly. Founded in 1955, the Voice began as a platform for the creative community of New York City.
Complete with 80, tabloid-size, one crease across the center, minor margin wear, nice condition.
