Panel Discussion on The Independent Eye, Cincinnati’s Legendary Counter Culture Newspaper!

On November 13, 2019, the Main Library in downtown Cincinnati hosted a panel discussion on the history and relevance of the publication. Panelists included Ellen Bierhorst, Monty Sher, Jim Tarbell, and Mark Neeley. The moderator was Local History librarian Christopher Smith.

A digital version of The Independent Eye is available in the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County’s Digital Library:
