Description
A recording of the June 5, 1994 opening program for "On the Edge of Revolt: San Francisco Lesbians and Gay Men Before Stonewall," a GLBTHS (then the Gay and Lesbian Historical Society) exhibition about "the development of a politically active gay and lesbian community in San Francisco during the years 1945-1969" that was displayed at the Harvey Milk Memorial Branch of the San Francisco Public Library. The event included comments on behalf of GLBTHS by Ruth Mahaney, Ellen Meyers, Lyndall MacCowan, George Roosen, and Sarah Ann Davis; readings by Janet MacHarg and Bev Hickok; and reminiscences of San Francisco's lesbian and gay social scene, particularly the bar scene, from Ken Miller, Bernice Miller, Angelo Sattosanti, and Jose Sarria.
