 One
issue of the Free City News sheets, distributed in San Francisco, 1967-68.
Shown above is the "1% Free" poster that first appeared as wall sized
posters in the Winter of 1968 and became a Digger trademark for the last
cycle of street events. Various interpretations of the poster's cryptic symbology
evolved. One interpretation which gained a certain infamy/popularity was
that merchants and rock bands were expected to contribute 1% of their receipts to the
Free
City Bank to fund various activities such as the Free Food Distribution
system. |
