Description

The Low Income People's Voice was a free-of-charge community newspaper founded in 1970 parallel to an era of major urban renewal in Portland, Maine- and reflecting an activism in response to large-scale demolition and marginalizing populations in the city.

The August 1971 issue features articles about The Rosa True School and Saint Dominic's School- both in the West End, and both later repurposed into apartment buildings, The Spring Street Tenants' Union, the creation of the Clark Street and Gray Street playground, the Oxford Street Youth Drop-in Center, and the opening of the Maine Mall.
