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 Special Election Edition features a sample ballot for the March 13th referendum about the construction of a magnet elementary school on Brackett Street. The Voice was opposed to the project which later became the Reiche Elementary School, and included the demolition of several square blocks of housing in the West End.
