Work for the People (or Forget about Fred Hampton) "If you ever think about me, & if you ain’t gonna do no revolutionary act, forget about me. I don’t want myself on your mind if you’re not gonna work for the people." — Fred Hampton Work/Play, More Power to the People Introduction On August 23rd, 1968, the eve of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, members of the Youth International Party nominated a pig for president of the United States. The ring leaders of this gesture, the Chicago Seven, were put on trial for disorderly conduct in what has since become one of the most iconic farces of criminal justice in United States history. On August 23rd, 2018, the trial was restaged at Maria’s Packaged Goods & Community Bar in Bridgeport. 50 years after her nomination, Pigasus flew again. So too would the memories, lessons, riots, murders, celebrations, & mournings of her age. A few blocks down Morgan Street, a small group of gallerists were planning their own tribute to the year nineteen hundred & sixty-eight. Local & national artists & revolutionaries occupied the Co-Prosperity Sphere via body & object from August 31st to September 30th - a month of unearthing pasts, undermining presents, & conjuring futures. This document hopes to bring these objects & happenings into one of these futures: one where they are unnecessary - redundant - dated; a future which learns from futures past & present; a prescient future; & a future which allows anniversaries to become celebrations. - Luke Cimarusti Participating Artists: Brandon Alvendia, Sofia Córdova, Jim DeRogatis, Jim Duignan, Chris Duncan, Lise Haller Baggesen, Robby Herbst, the Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative, Jason Lazarus, Jesse Malmed, Nicole Marroquin, Jennifer Moon, Josh Rios + Anthony Romero + Matthew Joynt, Emilio Rojas, Dan S. -

Open access: Radical Americas is a peer-reviewed open access journal. Abstract This paper looks specifically at two influential newspapers of the American underground press during the 1960s. Using the Berkeley Barb and the San Francisco Oracle, the paper proposes two arguments: first, that the inability of the countercultural press to envisage real alternatives to sexuality and sex roles stifled any wider attempt within the countercultural movement to address concerns around gender relations; and second, the limitation of the ‘radical’ imagination invites us to question the extent to which these papers can be considered radical or countercultural. -

Book Signings and the Opening of a Photo Exhibit
On a Move Event #1 In the last few weeks, I have attended a number of events around our legacy; a couple of book signings and the opening of a Photo exhibit. The first event I attended this month was the book signing for Sean Stewart’s book, “On the Ground.” Sean used to own Babylon Falling Bookstore in SF. He wanted to do an exhibit in his store on Underground Newspapers. Emory had told him of my huge collection of Underground newspapers. He came to Sacramento and brought a photographer to document the event for an internet magazine, which is now on our website. The exhibit was a big success. Emory and I spoke at the opening and it was carried in a number of newspapers in the Bay area and on the internet. So after that Sean started working on his book, “On the Ground”. It took him a year of interviews with founders of Underground newspapers. He spoke to members of the staff of the Chicago Seed, The Berkeley Barb and Tribe. He went to Austin to talk to the founder of “The Rag” and he interviewed John Wilcox, a founder of the Village Voice and the NY Other I first met John at Babylon Falling bookstore at the opening of the exhibit. He heard about the exhibit on the internet and he lives in Santa Barbara over 300 miles away. He told me that when he heard about the opening, he jumped in his car and drove to SF, just to make the opening. He said, “This kind of thing doesn’t happen everyday and I wanted to be a part of it.” Sean interviewed Emory, Skip Shockley and me for the BPP newspaper section. -

“You Are Your Own Alternative”: Performance, Pleasure, and the American Counterculture, 1965-1975 Mark Joseph Abraham A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN HISTORY YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO 9 May 2014 © Mark Joseph Abraham, 2014 Abstract “You Are Your Own Alternative” examines influential countercultural groups in the 1960s and 1970s. In opposition to historians who dismiss the politics of the counterculture and blame the counterculture for contributing to the collapse of social movement activism in the late 1960s and early 1970s, this dissertation highlights the intensely political and productive aspects of the counterculture. With case studies that focus on the Los Angeles Freaks, the San Francisco Diggers, the New York Yippies, and the lesbian feminists of Olivia Records, “You Are Your Own Alternative” demonstrates that the counterculture offered powerful political and performative challenges in this period. Countercultural activists valorized free expressions of sexuality; outlandishly adorned bodies; complex music; theatrical celebrations of community; and free access to collective resources like food, clothing, and health care. They staged participatory performance-based protests intended to seduce passersby into experiencing new paradigms of human interaction and expression. In joining in to act out, countercultural activists argued, new converts would discover, through performance and pleasure, their -
And What They're Saying About the Revised, Updated, Expanded 4
And what they’re saying about the revised, updated, expanded 4-volume Voices from the Underground series Books such as Ken Wachsberger‘s Voices from the Underground are becoming increasingly important and valuable as more and more people become interested in 1960s and 70s history. Michigan is a leader in preserving that history and making it accessible to future generations of scholars and activists. In my opinion, this series is a very worthwhile contribution to that effort. Judy Gumbo Albert, feminist activist scholar and original Yippie * * * … an important project. That information needs to be available. I liked the list of GI newspapers and was not aware there were so many. Country Joe McDonald, leader of Country Joe and the Fish * * * In an era when events linger in popular memory for increasingly smaller increments of time, Voices from the Underground serves us all by bringing back to life those rebel shouts and rants, as well as the thoughtful critiques and criticism that marked the 1960s and 70s oppositional press. Without a world wide web or internet to connect and inform those who refused the official version of events, it fell to the intrepid youth of that period to create a lively media that unraveled lies, put forth a vision, and gave a clenched fist and a raised middle finger to power. Peter Werbe, Fifth Estate staff member since 1966; Detroit radio broadcaster and talk show host * * * The irresistible rise of the Sixties underground press is now being recognized by historians as a unique and remarkable chapter in the long and storied saga of journalism. -
