Item # 704030

July 23, 1964

THE VILLAGE VOICE (weekly), Greenwich Village, New York, July 23, 1964

* Harlem race riots - photos
* "Long, Hot Summer"
* Confrontation w/ police
* re. James Powell death


The front page has a one column heading: "'Tear Down The Ghetto'" with some related photos. (see images)
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 in 20 pages, tabloid-size, one crease across the center, very nice condition.

Provenance note: This issue comes from The Village Voice's own archives, part of their in-house collection used to create their digital archive.

Alert: Many issues of The Village Voice contain articles and/or photos which some consider offensive, and are certainly inappropriate for children. Please purchase with discretion.
