The Sunday Ramparts 1966 Hoodie

Founded in 1962 as a Catholic literary quarterly, the legendary San Francisco muckraker, Ramparts Magazine, was born from San Francisco's culture of dissent and activism. In 1964, a young new editor shifted the magazine’s focus towards politics, and it became a monthly, hiring writers steeped in Berkeley’s ardent campus activism, and their views on politics, drugs and music shaped the magazine for years to come. Realizing the limitation of a monthly publication in a rapidly changing world, The Sunday Ramparts newspaper was spawned in 1966 as a weekly companion to the magazine, albeit one that was known to be much more edgy. The Sunday Ramparts is largely credited with the birth of gonzo journalism and laid the groundwork for RS Magazine.
