The OB Rag (originally the OB People's Rag) was an underground newspaper [1] published between 1970 and 1975 [2]in the Ocean Beach Neighborhood of San Diego, California, United States. [3] The O in the title is also a peace symbol.
The original staff was a small collection of activists who lived on Etiwanda St in Northeast Ocean Beach. Most of the original group were recent graduaates of the University of California and veterans of the campus anti-Vietnam War movement. They published Volume 1 Number 1 in September 1970. [4] A major early issue for the OB Rag was the fight to save Collier Park on land that had been donated to the City by David Charles Collier. A riot in Collier Park on March 28th 1971 was covered in detail by the Rag.[5]
Revival
The OB Rag was revived twenty-six years later with paper editions published in Ocean Beach between 2001 and 2003 by members of the Ocean Beach Grassroots Organization (OBGO).[6] The OB Rag has been online at OBRag.org since 2007. In June 2011 members of the OB Rag helped relaunch the San Diego Free Press as an online publication. [7]
