Ken Wachsberger, editor of VOICES FROM THE UNDERGROUND, discusses the history of the American underground press and the publication of the fourth of four volumes on the topic, titled "Stop the Presses! I Want to Get Off! by Joseph W. Grant" He spoke at The Avenue Cafe in Lansing, Michigan on December 6, 2012. The book series represent a wide range of publications: counter cultural, gay, lesbian, feminist, Puerto Rican, Native American, Black, socialist, Southern consciousness, prisoners' rights, New Age, rank-and-file, military, and more. This fourth edition focuses on the Prisoners' Digest International, a prison newspaper at Leavenworth with the purpose of giving a voice to prisoners and to establish a line of communication between prisoners and people in the free world.
