Free Press Extra Pentagon Special: 1967
The latest issue of the Washington Free Press that Spark has obtained is Vol 2 No 18 that is undated but published around Nov. 1, 1967.
It is a special edition that covered the massive October 21, 1967 demonstration at the Pentagon—the largest antiwar demonstration in the Washington, D.C. area up to that point in time.
This issue of the Free Press does in-depth reporting on an attempt to gain access to the Pentagon and violent attacks on demonstrators by U.S. Marshals, as well as extensive photographs of the demonstration.
Their reporters somehow missed the “piss-in” at the Pentagon. Since there were no bathrooms or portable commodes, demonstrators organized a spot to urinate on the Pentagon building immortalized in the Root Boy Slim song “Used to be a Radical.”
This color scan of this issue replaces a black & white version in the Spark collection that was missing a page.
The Washington Free Press published from 1966 to 1969 and became the first of the 1960s “underground” newspapers in the Washington, D.C. area.
It began as an intercollegiate newspaper in the area and in April 1967 began publishing as an area-wide alternative newspaper.
It started as an eight-page weekly tabloid publishing investigative pieces and exposes not covered by the mainstream press but in a writing style not much different from than the three daily newspapers that served the city.
By 1968 it was publishing a 24 or 28-page issue every two weeks or so and had adopted a more free-form style of journalism where opinion was mixed freely with reporting. Its politics evolved from a left-liberal bent to youth culture to revolutionary over a three-year span.
Under pressure from authorities, internal issues, and from the start-up alternative newspaper Quicksilver Times, the Free Press began faltering in its last year of publication. It moved to a monthly and then abandoned a regular schedule. Its once lively content began to fade and it ceased publication in December 1969.
During its existence it ran in-depth pieces on the rise of black nationalism at Howard University and in-depth interviews with black nationalist Stokely Carmichael and long-time civil rights activist Virginia Durr.
It featured regular columns on how to avoid the draft and desert from the armed services, dispensed advice on drugs and carried music and film reviews.
It wrote an early in-depth article on the gay scene in the city and published the initial appeals to form a women’s liberation group in the area as well as covering the rise of the Yippies.
Their vivid descriptions of events featured writing like this from Frank Speltz covering the anti-freeway protests in the city:
“Attention SDS and SNCC organizers: if ever you control a turf as tightly as the Emergency Committee on the Transportation Crisis (ECTC) does, you will know it by the following signs: you will drive a nine-man city council from its seats several times in impotent fear and trembling, you will involve every age group and every political spectrum, you will turn out 300-400 non-movement adults who are angry and unafraid. The difference between an anti-draft demonstration of those of ECTC are the difference between a picnic and a rumble.” ---WFP, March 27, 1968.
They briefly published daily during the 1968 city-wide newspaper strike of the three dailies and covered in-depth the issue of discrimination by the all-white craft unions at the newspaper—an issue that would later haunt the unions during their failed 1975 strike at the Washington Post.
They ran a special edition covering the 1967 March on the Pentagon that exposed the brutality of U.S. Marshals and military police. Other coverage that went further than the mainstream press included conditions in Anacostia, the 1967 convention of the National Student Association following revelations of CIA funding, the protest activities surrounding Nixon’s 1969 Inauguration, police brutality, prison conditions, the shocking details of the split between Marion Barry and Rufus “Catfish” Mayfield, and the demonstrations at the 1968 Chicago Democratic Convention and subsequent conspiracy indictments.
Perhaps most famously, the newspaper broke the story of the 13-year-old daughter of law-and-order Vice President Spiro Agnew’s bust for drugs at the Cathedral school with 10 other young women.
The Free Press also documented the attempts by authorities to suppress the newspaper that included frequent arrest of its street sellers, the prison beating of a jailed reporter, the assault on one of its photographers by a D.C. narcotics detective, the jailing of vendors for violating so-called obscenity laws and the attempt by Montgomery County judge James Pugh to invoke Maryland’s anti-communist Ober Law against the newspaper. Toward the end of its existence, the District police and/or the FBI broke into their office by smashing a hole in the adjacent men’s room, stole the paper’s files on undercover police officers and ransacked the suite.
Some of the prominent staff included Margie Stamberg, Dick Ochs, Frank Speltz, Art Grossman, Michael Grossman, Sheila Ryan, Bill Blum, Elaine Fuller, Cathy Wilkerson, Mundo Bravo, General Marsbars, and Fooman Zybar.
This collection is mostly derived from the on-line collection of the D.C. public library and contains only a half dozen issues of our own plus fragments of other issues. There are currently no issues of the inter-collegiate edition published during its first year of existence, but most issues are represented during the paper’s city-wide run from 1967-69.
The Free Press volume number began in March, except that Volume 2 ran for two years 1967-68 and 1968-69 and didn’t change until April 1, 1969.
Unfortunately, many issues have been copied in black and white only, some apparently from microfilm, and pages are missing from many of the issues. Where color was used, it often does not reflect the actual colors used in publication. If you have copies of this newspaper or know where to obtain them, please contact us at Washington_area_spark@yahoo.com.
However for activists of today, history buffs or researchers, this collection provides a valuable window into a time of fervent social justice activity and alternative culture.
