Voices from the Underground is a four-part series that pays tribute to rebellious and challenging voices such as Tom Paine, whose Common Sense would not have been syndicated in England; Upton Sinclair and other turn-of-the-last-century muckrakers, whose pens forced changes in labeling laws, child labor laws, and other issues that primarily affected poor people; and to the many dissident pens throughout world history who gave us our tradition of independent reporting and analysis.
