The Berkeley Barb

Berkeley: August, 1968. Marvin Tatum Collection of Contemporary Literature.

First published in August 1965, the Berkeley Barb was the original and most influential of all underground student newspapers that appeared to chronicle the burgeoning counterculture movement as it swept through the San Francisco area. Founded on the University of California at Berkeley campus, the Barb covered civil rights and anti-war movements and became the social conscience of every social, political, musical, and mind-expanding event held in the San Francisco area over the following decade. This issue is from August 1968.
