As part of the Shiloh Museum’s ongoing Not Strictly History series, Megan Pobywajlo will present Fayetteville’s Hippie Information Activists, a brief history of the Ozark Mountain Times student newspaper. In the early 1970s, a committed activist community formed around a short-lived countercultural newspaper, aiding in the creation of Fayetteville’s “Free Switchboard.” Classified ads, a 24-hour hotline, and resource center ran with the mission of organizing a network of free support for basic human needs on the ground in Northwest Arkansas. Pobywajlo’s research into the newspaper was part of her MFA thesis project in printmaking at the University of Arkansas.
Viewing is limited to 100 participants and registration is required. After you register, you will receive an email confirmation with a Zoom link to join the event.
