THE VILLAGE VOICE (weekly), Greenwich Village, New York City, May 7, 1970
* "May Day" New Haven, Connecticut protests

* Yale University activists - racial justice

* LAST ONE IN INVENTORY ***
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.
The Village Voice was an American counterculture newspaper known for being the country's first alternative newsweekly. It introduced free-form, high-spirited, and passionate journalism into the public discourse - a tradition it maintained throughout its 60+ year history. It is quite common to find great political cartoons, satirical cartoons and articles, thought-provoking editorials, and ads and reviews for both concerts and theater productions - both on and off Broadway. Many iconic writers and musicians credit their appearance in The Village Voice for at least a portion of their success.
Complete with 80, tabloid-size, one crease across the center, minor margin wear, 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.
