Instrumental in JOIN was the editor of Firing Line, Peggy Terry, who used her Civil Rights work with CORE to connect Black and white communities to a common cause.

Also included is a printing of the lyrics to Bob Dylan's 1964 song, Only a Pawn in Their Game, as well as a printing of resolutions of the Southern Caucus of the SDS, among other articles. GOOD condition. Moderate toning. Paper a bit brittle, with a few tears along the edges. Minor wrinkling and creasing.…
