Description	Description A tape from the Daniel A. Smith and Queer Blue Light Videotapes (1999-52). Queer Blue Light was a gay activist video collective active in San Francisco in the 1970s. Daniel Smith was a member of the collective. Although the physical tape is labeled "Egypt 2," the tape primarily includes remnant recordings of a gay poetry reading and a campaign meeting for Bobby Seale's 1973 Oakland mayoral bid. In 2011, GLBT Historical Society volunteer John Raines digitized 79 of the nearly 100 tapes in the collection. Raines added titles (derived from notations on the physical media) and a GLBT Historical Society watermark to the videos.
