Submitted for adoption by Gabrielle Dean, PhD
The Movement newspaper was published in San Francisco from 1964 to January 1970 by Friends of the SNCC (Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee) and SDS (Students for a Democratic Society). This later issue is notable for its centerfold poster featuring artwork by graphic artist and Black Panther Emory Douglas (b. 1943), alongside an interview with six Black Panther women on the women’s liberation movement.
Other content includes articles on labor struggles in San Francisco, the United Farm Workers, on the upcoming Days of Rage in Chicago (by Weathermen Kathy Boudin and Terry Robbins, who would die in the Greenwich Village explosion six months later), resistance in Ireland; a letter from Black Panther Ericka Huggins; poetry and smaller news items; and an update on Martin Sostre’s imprisonment.
The rear cover features a comic advising kids on how to revolt against tradition and authority at school.
