Description: A woman holds a handmade sign reading "We Want Jobs" at a protest in Columbus, Ohio. This photograph was taken for publication in the Columbus Free Press newspaper. The Columbus Free Press began as a bi-weekly publication in Columbus, Ohio, in 1970. An underground newspaper, it replaced the Ohio State University publication The People, Yes. The earliest known issue of the newspaper appeared on January 4, 1971. The newspaper underwent a series of name changes over the decades, with titles including the Columbus Free Press & Cowtown Times (1972-1976), the Columbus Freepress (1976-1992) and The Free Press (1992-1995). The paper, which covered many liberal and progressive causes, was an alternative to mainstream news sources in central Ohio with the slogan “The Other Side of the News.” In 1995, the paper ceased publication briefly before reemerging as a website in early 1996, and returning as a print publication under the Free Press title in the form of a quarterly journal in 1998. Published under various frequencies during the first part of the 21st century, the Free Press again became a nonprofit monthly publication in 2017 with both a print and web presence, published by the Columbus Institute for Contemporary Journalism and operated by a volunteer staff and board.

Description: This poster urges voters to register to vote against the right to work amendment. The "right to work" amendment proposed to the Ohio Constitution in 1958 stipulated that no person could be denied, or excluded from, employment due to membership or non-membership in a labor organization. This placed legal limitations on union security agreements. A vigorous lobbying campaign by the AFL-CIO helped to overwhelmingly defeat the Republican Ohio Assembly's bid to pass the amendment.
