Abstract

The article discusses the printing techniques adopted by the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) in the U.S. during the 1960s. An overview is given of various methods used by the SDS to communicate with people through the print medium. SDS' internal printing facilities helped it to become the biggest social movement in the history of the U.S. The organization used the print medium to organize campaigns against the policies of the government and to influence people to join their organization.
