I Dress for Decency

My game plan for the day was to visit a prisoner at GEO North Lake Processing Center, aka North Lake Immigrants Concentration Camp, in Baldwin, Michigan. I was prepared to follow all the rules so that I wouldn’t be denied entry. I took my driver’s license and a $20 donation out of my wallet so I could store my wallet with my keys in my knapsack. My pen and notebook I left there as well, comforted in the assurance that “3×5 note cards and bendy pens” would be available for note taking.

And I obeyed the unofficial dress code, which, we were warned, was being enforced:

• pants with no holes/distressed material (jeans preferred but khakis, trousers, slacks are OK. no leggings, sweatpants or pajama-type bottoms)
• closed-toed shoes and no Crocs 
• long-sleeve shirt or sweater with no pockets, no hoodies, no quarter zips
• if wearing a bra, no underwire

I wore jeans but with no holes in the knees, and my usual tennis shoes.

The restriction on bras with underwires fortunately was no problem for me. More of a challenge was the requirement to wear a long-sleeve shirt with no pockets. I wear short sleeves all year round and all my shirts have pockets to carry my glasses. My only option was my pullover wool turtle-neck sweater, which seemed too overdressed and warm for the event and the day’s weather.

Then, lo and behold, I discovered a pocketless long-sleeve pullover on Emily’s side of our closet. With confidence in my masculinity, I prepared to wear it as my alternative, until I received the following message: “I believe a short-sleeve shirt for a man will be allowed. A breast pocket is probably ok, too. It’s sort of a ‘decency police’ dress code.” I’m nothing if I’m not decent. I went with short-sleeve button down over a T-shirt that said, “We were all immigrants.”

On the Road to Baldwin

Baldwin is located three and a half hours north of Ann Arbor. I drove up with friends Mary Anne and Amelia.

Mary Anne and I were going to meet another friend, Ramiro, and the three of us were going to make the visit.

Amelia brought with her eight cartons of Korans, thirty-six per box, a donation from an area mosque for the prisoners. We delivered them personally to the prison reverend as soon as we arrived. He was concerned to learn that they were hardbacks, which are strictly verboten as gifts because they may be hollowed out to hide contraband. However, he came up with a workaround: He would donate them to the prison library, which has many hardbacks, and prisoners can borrow them from there.

Mission accomplished, we went out front to join one hundred other patriots who had shown up to show their support for the prisoners.

Food for the Family

At 1 p.m, Mary Anne, Ramiro, and I went back to the prison for our visit. On our brief walk, a security guard approached us in her car. She made a point of telling us that she doesn’t necessarily agree with what’s happening but she needs food to feed her family. We’re pretty sure this is the plight of many of the employees. It isn’t uncommon for Trump/Miller concentration camps to be built in depressed communities that are forced to choose between principle and food. Baldwin is one of the most depressed areas in Michigan.

We had been given the name of one prisoner and instructions by a leader from No Detention Centers in Michigan, the leading statewide coalition working to abolish immigration concentration camps in Michigan. The prisoner was a Venezuelan asylum seeker who had been abducted in Chicago in October and brought to North Lake, where he has remained since then. His only family members in this country are an ex-wife and a daughter, who the ex-wife has kept from him. In other words, nobody.

I had so many questions, which I knew I would have to ask through Mary Anne and Ramiro because I’m not fluent in Spanish:

• Why did you flee Venezuela?
• What were you doing in Chicago and how were you caught?
• What are conditions like in prison?
• How is your health?
• Do you have a routine? How is the food?
• How can I contact your daughter?

Registering at the Prison

The reception area included two women behind the counter processing visitors, at one time or another about thirty visitors, and a handful of I guessed guards who were milling around not really doing anything. It appeared to be shift change time so some of the guards could have been waiting to leave. To the right side of the counter were two rows of chairs with twenty visitors, some of whom were standing behind the chairs, all waiting to be called.

At the counter, we filled out the visitor form, which indicated who we were visiting, his “A” number, our driver’s license numbers, our relation to the prisoner (we all wrote “friend”), and our addresses.

We each brought a $20 donation for our prisoner’s commissary account. The bills all went into one envelope, which I signed after writing our prisoner’s name and “A” number. Then one of the women directed us to watch as she sealed the envelope and dropped it into a secure box.

To join the waiting visitors on the right side of the counter, we had to pass through security on the left side. I put my coat and shoes in one basket and my glasses case in another and pushed them through the X-ray machine. I retrieved them after passing through the scanner and then joined the visitors.

Driving while Brown

While we were waiting to meet our designated prisoner, we talked with a young woman who was here to visit her boyfriend, another Venezuelan, who had been abducted in his car because he was driving while Brown. He had been imprisoned for six months but this was her first opportunity to visit him.

She tried futilely to hold back tears as she described his growing pessimism as he awaited his court date in December 2027! She was uplifted when we told her about Michigan Immigrant Rights Center (MIRC), which provides free legal help (but which is always in righteous need of donations).

We learned from one of the milling men, who described himself as a processor, that the prisoners come from all over, including Chicago, Grand Rapids, Detroit, and other cities. Many are from prisons. “It’s all about money,” he said. “Democrats, Republicans, ministers making over $200,000. I don’t trust any of them. Governors from both parties call ICE, and ICE takes them to federal prisons so the state doesn’t have to pay.”

He says it is common for immigrants to be sent to camps and prisons far from their homes to reduce visits.

Waiting for What?

We waited an hour before being told to line up in front of the vestibule that led to what we guessed would be the meeting room. At last, we thought, we’re on our way. We waited in line for another ten minutes. And then our names were called. Here is what we were told: The prisoner we had travelled from Ann Arbor to visit “already had a visit today and inmates only get one visit a day.”

What? That’s it?

That was it.

My friend Rich and his wife, Nancy, who, like us, had driven up from Ann Arbor to show support for someone who they didn’t know, got the same message.

What the hell?

Ramiro knew one of the women who had been picked up recently in Ypsilanti. “Can we visit her instead?” he asked. No, we couldn’t because today was visitors’ day in Delta cell, which was for the men. Visits are on a rotation basis. Bravo is the women’s cell and visitation day there was Monday.

That was it. A three-and-a-half-hour ride to Baldwin, an hour wait in the reception area, and then a three-and-a-half hour ride back home. Good company for sure, and we were on hand to join the one hundred others outside the camp, but that was not our anticipated outcome.

Guests had other ways of being screwed also. A family of five drove in from Cincinnati only to learn that the maximum number of visitors at a time is four, so one of them had to remain in the waiting room.

Now we began to wonder, would our prisoner even receive the donation we had left for him? Will he even know a donation was given to him?

Happy Valentine’s Day

Our treatment in Baldwin’s Trump/Miller Concentration Camp is an extension of the dehumanizing treatment inmates receive. For one, we don’t even know if indeed these two prisoners really had already received visitors. But even if they had, why are they only allowed one visit per visitors’ day? The men’s and women’s cells are open for visitors each only one day a week. So, in effect, prisoners are allowed one visit a week. Visits are limited to ninety minutes.

How can members of the resistance—aka, immigrant supporters and family members—be given access to visitors’ logs, or provided relevant information by prison staff, or allowed to make reservations, so duplicate assignments of prisoners to receive guests can be reduced and eliminated and out-of-town visitors can be assured their trips won’t be in vain?

What other support groups besides No Detention Centers in Michigan are lining up volunteers to visit prisoners who otherwise would have nobody? How can they coordinate their efforts so prisoners aren’t paired up with more than one group a day?

And how can we be assured our designated prisoner received our donation?

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone. ICE Out of Existence.

Third Mind Books, 118 E. Washington Street, in Ann Arbor, is playing host. Party begins at 7 p.m.

I Offer My Beat Credentials

This is my first time speaking at Third Mind Books. I’m especially honored because they specialize in literature of the Beats. To get the invitation, I had to prove my Beat credentials.

How did I do that? Come to the book launch and find out my personal connections to Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Ed Sanders, Paul Krassner, and other literary legends.

As historian Harvey Wasserman notes in his foreword, Thumbs Up “spins a Kerouac-worthy tale of an adventure-filled life well spent.”

Then we’ll celebrate with a cake that is a spitting image of the book cover but tastes better.

Bonus: With every book you buy, Third Mind will give you a free copy of my first book, Beercans on the Side of the Road: The Story of Henry the Hitchhiker. While supplies last.

Thumbs Up

Thumbs Up: Memoir of a Joyful Organizer is my memoir about the milestone events I witnessed and provoked and that shaped my life from Kent State into the new millennium.

It includes all three phases of my life with the underground press: when I was on it, when I preserved its legacy in print through Voices from the Underground, and when we went digital with Independent Voices. But it includes a lot more. Here’s how it is described:

“The author’s journey through the seventies and beyond with the underground press, the Yippies and Zippies, his thumb, his Judaism, organic catering, community organizing, emerging technology, and Emily. A funny, insightful, always hopeful memoir of a joyful writer, editor, dishwasher, Zen phony, and legendary historian of the underground press.”

Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz called Thumbs Up “a gift, a cultural outbreak of joy in the dark time of the 1970s for our own dark time.”

Kirkus Reviews called it “An open and funny account that spans decades with joy and passion.”

Kerouac biographer Gerald Nicosia called Thumbs Up “an important book because it straightens out a history that has been deliberately twisted in the telling, and hopefully it will open a lot of eyes to what really happened in the Sixties, and even more urgently needs to happen again in America.”

I look forward to seeing you tonight at Third Mind Books. If you can’t make it, go ahead and order the book here.

The post Launch Date at Last for “Thumbs Up” appeared first on .

In 1992, a small, sinister no doubt, group of adjunct faculty members at Eastern Michigan University—known euphemistically as part-timers even though some taught up to eight classes a semester, on three campuses throughout southeast Michigan to make ends meet—came together and made a vow: that they would create one bargaining unit for all adjunct faculty members, both part-timers and full-timers.

It was a gutsy move. In all of Michigan history, no such bargaining unit—for adjunct faculty exclusively—had ever existed. In addition, they faced a hostile administration. By the end of that first meeting, they had formed themselves into EMULOC: Eastern Michigan University Lecturers Organizing Committee (later Congress).

They began their first card campaign the next day.

And they won.

But it took thirty years!

In Thumbs Up: Memoir of a Joyful Organizer, I share my story of that historic campaign for the first time.

In these dark times, we have to remember: When we organize—we win!

But sometimes it takes a long time. Think thirty years.

Thumbs Up launches on July 14 with a party at Third Mind Bookstore, 118 East Washington, in downtown Ann Arbor. But it is available now at a special preorder purchase price. Consider it the family rate. You can preorder your softcover and ebook versions here.

To learn more about Thumbs Up and to see what others are saying about it, visit my book page.

And if you’re so inspired, please place an honest review on whatever platform you used to purchase it.

Be well and keep laughing. They hate that.

The post Historic Union Victory Celebrated in Upcoming Memoir appeared first on .

Susan Brownmiller, legendary feminist author and pioneer leader of the second wave of the feminist movement, died Saturday May 24, 2025. Susan was best known as the author of the groundbreaking book, Against Our Will: Men, Women, and Rape, the book that put rape on the map as a feminist issue.

It was my honor to have her in my life for one brief but significant, for me, moment. Here’s what happened:

I Give in to Groupie Tendencies

I was sitting at my desk at the publishing house where I was working by day when the voice over the intercom announced that I had a call on line 3.

I was at the time at a low point in my life. The entire inventory of my Voices from the Underground had been stolen from the publisher’s warehouse. Voices is a collection of histories of Vietnam-era underground newspapers written by key people on each of the papers. I contributed the history of the Lansing-area underground press and edited the whole collection. This first edition had appeared in 1993 as 600+ pages of an 8 ½ x 11 two-column format, the equivalent, in standard 6 x 9 paperback format, of a 1,500-page book, or four separate books.

I picked up the phone and identified myself. The voice at the other end said, “Hi, Ken, this is Susan Brownmiller.”

With no time to restrict my groupie-est of tendencies, I blurted back, “Susan Brownmiller!” She didn’t seem phased. Maybe she was being polite.

She said she was in the process of writing her history of the feminist movement, In Our Time: Memoir of a Revolution, and she needed a copy of Voices for her research. Her particular interest was two histories, of

• off our backs, the first nationally distributed feminist newspaper to emerge from the east coast, written in part by Marilyn Webb, the founder of the paper; and
• The Furies, published by the legendary radical lesbian group, The Furies, written by collective member Ginny Berson.

Unfortunately, my own supply was down to only a precious handful that I couldn’t spare, and I couldn’t reorder from the publisher, whose inventory had just been ripped off. Fortunately, Marilyn Webb had a copy to spare. Marilyn’s story is footnoted several times in Susan’s book.

Susan Comes Through

I never forgot that incident, so twenty years later, while working on the second edition, which Michigan State University Press published in the four volumes it should have been all along, I contacted Susan and asked her for a testimonial quote. Generously, she came through. Here’s what she wrote:

“What a boon to historians! Ken Wachsberger’s Voices from the Underground is crucial to an understanding of the literary and political history of the 1960s counterculture movement. This valuable resource must stay in print, if only for academics who wish to study the amazing phenomenon of the alternative newspapers, put together by amateurs, that sprang up across the country in those fervent years. Wachsberger’s material, largely in the form of ‘how we did it’ memoirs, is rich in personal histories and anecdotal details that are collected nowhere else.”

I Meet Susan

On my next trip to New York, I met Susan for the first time. I expected her to tell me how much she loved the book. I was prepared to feign modesty. Instead, she said, “You don’t have enough on the feminist press. You need to include It Aint Me Babe.”

I reminded her that I already had off our backs and The Furies, so the women’s voice was well represented.

But the feminist papers deserved more, she demanded. She insisted I contact Laura X, whose interview with a rape victim in Berkeley had inspired Susan to write Against Our Will.

It Aint Me Babe Joins Voices

Laura X is legendary in feminist lore as the premier archivist of the feminist movement. She embraced my invitation and pulled together other key figures from Berkeley’s It Aint Me Babe, the first nationally distributed feminist underground paper in the country, to tell their story. Other contributors included lead author and Babe founder Bonnie Eisenberg; Trina Robbins, pioneer feminist comix artist, who helped to break through the men-only barrier; feminist journalist Starr Goode, and Alta Gerrey, founder of the feminist Shameless Hussy Press.

The story of It Aint Me Babe appeared, for the first time ever, in volume 3 of the four-volume series. Susan wrote the foreword.

The post Save the Dates: Two Huge Book Launch Events Coming Soon! appeared first on .

Just last month, Thumbs Up became available as an ebook on Amazon, Apple, Kobo, Thalia, Vivlio, and Barnes & Noble.

Thumbs Up pulls together the sequence of events that followed Ken’s first political arrest, in May 1970 following the Kent State murders, and carries him into the new millennium. Here’s the description:

“The author’s journey through the seventies and beyond with the underground press, the Yippies and Zippies, his thumb, his Judaism, vegetarian catering, community organizing, emerging technology, and Emily. A funny, insightful, always hopeful memoir of a joyful writer, editor, dishwasher, Zen phony, and legendary historian of the underground press.”

Sean Howe, author of Agents of Chaos: Thomas King Forçade, High Times, and the Paranoid End of the 1970s, writes: “In Thumbs Up, which bursts with love and hope, [Wachsberger] candidly tells his own inspiring story—and explodes the notion that activism recedes with age.”

Dennis Giangreco, author of Truman and the Bomb, says: “Wachsberger shares his hard-learned lessons that our intergenerational peers, the folks who are the age now that we were then, can apply as they pick up the struggle from us. And to give them confidence that when we organize we win.”

“Wachsberger’s galloping prose traces the journey of a ‘70s activist through at least nine lives on his way to the 21st Century,” notes wordsmith and rebel Sue Katz, author of Lillian in Love and A Raisin in My Cleavage. “His is a life and a book to be jubilantly celebrated and honored.”

Yesterday, on the fifty-fourth anniversary of the Kent State murders, I posted on Facebook and LinkedIn about the comparisons between campus protests then and now. Two weeks to the day after the four murders, on May 18, 1970, I became one of 132 students arrested at the Michigan State University student union during a peaceful discussion on racism.

I was the first one arrested because I was standing closest to the door when the arrests began. I was the only one thrown into solitary confinement because I refused to sign my fingerprints. The event led directly to my dropping out of college and becoming part of the underground press, the independent, noncorporate, antiwar press.

My four-volume Voices from the Underground Series is a collection of insider histories of individual underground papers from all over the country. They capture and preserve the many voices of what was known as the counterculture.

Today, at least ten contributors are no longer living—but their stories are.

What is the story you want to pass on to your children and their children? Only you can preserve your legacy.

On Saturday, May 18, from 1 to 3 p.m., I will be talking about writing to preserve your legacy at Brewed Awakenings in Saline, Michigan, at 7025 East Michigan Avenue #M.
