The top of page 3 has a heading: "Pickets for Pot Push Legalization" Article continues on page 14.
source ?: On a snowy December day in 1964, Allen Ginsberg made good on his vow to challenge Harry Anslinger and the Marihuana Tax Act by appearing in Lower Manhattan with a small band of activists carrying signs that read “Pot Is Fun” and “Pot Is a Reality Kick.”
The bottom of page 10 has a advertisement for a "MALCOLM X" speech in New York City. (see image)
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 20 pages, tabloid size, one fold along the center, nice condition.
