Description
The East Village Other was a pioneering underground newspaper published in New York City from 1965 to 1972. Known for its countercultural focus, it covered radical politics, the anti-war movement, psychedelia, and avant-garde art.
Featuring contributions from influential writers and artists, it epitomized the rebellious spirit of the 1960s underground press.
The December 10, 1969, issue of The East Village Other (Vol. 5, No. 1) features:
- Interview with Bobby Seale: A conversation with the co-founder of the Black Panther Party, discussing the organization’s goals and challenges.
- “Blood Donors Rescue Museum” by Alex Gross: An article detailing a community initiative to support a local museum through blood donations.
- “Women Take Over Abortion Panel” by Maryanne Raphael: Coverage of women asserting control over discussions related to abortion rights.
- Music and Film Reviews: Insights into contemporary culture, including James Lichtenberg’s piece on Mick Jagger and discussions on Yugoslav filmmaking.
This 24-page underground newspaper, measuring 17 by 11.5 inches, is noted for its characteristic yellowed pages and extremely light wear — not typical of publications from that era.
