Title
A name given to the resource
Underground Press
Description
An account of the resource
One of the key characteristics of the various movements of the 1960s-era was the creation of alternative, or "underground," newspapers. These newspapers were not clandestine, though. Quite the opposite. They were important public organizing tools for New Left movements, crucial to disseminating information, educating activists and promoting events. In addition to articles, they also often included comix and other graphics, advertisements and sometimes even personals. This collection contains a range of underground newspapers, some focused on a particular movement, like the women's movement, others offering broader coverage of the many movements taking place at the time.

Description
An account of the resource
The Military Left was one of more than 130 underground newspapers published on U.S. military bases across the world during the Vietnam era. The papers were usually published anonymously and gave servicemen and women an opportunity to express their opposition to the war in Vietnam, or the military system, more broadly. Those who wrote or distributed these alternative G.I. press newspapers were often subjected to harsh punishment from military brass, if found out. The Military Left was published from 1969 through 1973 by G.I.’s at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas. Under the masthead, editors included the text of a military regulation that stated, “All G.I.’s have the right to receive any written matter they desire in the mail, and have the right to keep any books, newspapers or pamphlets they want” and promised, “They lie. We won’t.” In this issue, articles explore G.I. rights; repression against activist service-members; “Lifer of the Month” column; conscientious objector status; a history of amnesty; comix; song lyrics; Arlo Guthrie quote.
