By the time of the publication of this newsletter, its leadership had moved toward the ideas embodied in the Black Power movement. This issue has an article by H. Rap Brown (also a leader of the SNCC) "Who are the Real Outlaws?" along with a centerfold two page essay written by a young Black woman to her mother, explaining the importance of wearing her hair "natural;" news on the struggles in the Middle East, various Third World locations, etc. GOOD condition.
