Washington Spark

The Washington Area Spark publishes activist history from the past that has relevance today.

The Washington Area Spark, a left-wing monthly tabloid, published monthly tabloid from 1971-73. A successor publication called On The Move published five issues from early 1974 to early 1975.

The name was revived in 2011 when photos from the archives of the newspaper were published on Flickr along with other images of struggle from the pre-internet era.

A blog under the same name now examines historical struggles by working families in the greater Washington, DC area to understand and identify lessons learned that might be applied today.
