Summary:

Description: A radical guide to national and local politics and issues. Includes music, concert, art, movie, and book reviews. "Edited by John Sinclair and designed by Gary Grimshaw, the Sun first appeared in 1967 in Detroit, emanating from the Trans-Love Energies collective. Growing more politically active, Sinclair and Grimshaw moved to Ann Arbor, where Trans-Love Energies metmorphosed into the White Panther party, championing liberation through rock & roll, dope, and other activities. Sun/Dance, the WPP newspaper, received nationwide distribution, though only intermittently. The first Ann Arbor Sun was published in May 1971 under the auspices of the Rainbow People's Party, a political organization chaired by Sinclair, who was in prison. The newspaper separated from the RPP in January 1973, and flourished under Barbara Weinberg's direction. In November 1974, Sinclair and crew, now called Rainbow Productions, were hired to advise on the paper's content, design, and distribution. In an effort to widen its audience, in July 1975 the Sun expanded its coverage to the Detroit area and shortened its name. In October, the Sun moved back to Detroit, and died."
