The front page has a Tomi Ungerer racist illustration titled: "Civil Rights Bill"
Also a heading: "From Liberty in Miss. To Justice in D.C." with lead-in: "The Gap Between" (see images) Lengthy text continues on multiple inside pages.
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 32 pages, tabloid size, one fold along the center, nice condition.
