A defunct labor party’s mimeograph enabled a protest-song magazine.

Evidence

Living in the Frederick Douglass Houses, a city project on a superblock (100th to 104th Street) bounded by Amsterdam and Manhattan Avenues, Cunningham and Friesen published Broadside out of their kitchen, using a small hand-cranked mimeograph inherited from the local chapter of the defunct American Labor Party. — J. Hoberman, Everything Is Now, 355
