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 March 1972 issue highlights the reorganization of Low Income People's Voice as financially independent from the Model Cities program federal funding. Additional topics include public schools, opposition to the Portland West Elementary School Referendum, Our Place (community-owned recreation facility) at 54 York Street, the Bayside neighborhood, Portland's Irish community, Portland Housing Authority.
