From its inception, the L.A. Free Press saw itself as an advocate of personal freedom. The newspaper was notable for its radical politics when, in the mid-1960s, such views rarely saw print. The ‘Freep’ wrote about and was often directly involved in the major issues of the 1960s and 1970s, and with the people who shaped them, including the Chicago Seven, Timothy Leary, Allen Ginsberg, and Abbie Hoffman. Both the famous and the infamous would open up to the Los Angeles Free Press, from Bob Dylan to the Black Panthers to Jim Morrison. The Free Press Bookstore was a hub for LA counterculture, not only selling a myriad of underground books and newspapers but also holding regular protest meetings, poetry jams and music nights. A mural of Orwell’s famous aphorism from ‘1984’ was emblazoned on the bookstore wall.
