THE VILLAGE VOICE (weekly), Greenwich Village, New York, June 20, 1963
* Roy Wilkins - African American civil rights leader
* National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)
* "Black Power Movement" Conference at the Judson Memorial Church
The front page has a heading: "Wilkins: Prejudice Has Led America Into Mortal Danger" with related photo. (see images) Article continues on a inside page. This was just two months prior to the famous MArch on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.
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. Rare as such.
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.
