Schoonmaker Fred and Alfred Parkinson 1990-15 | Frederick Schoonmaker and Alfred Parkinson were an interracial gay couple best known for their attempt to establish a gay intentional community, to be called Stonewall Park, in rural Nevada. After the failure of their San Francisco ice cream shop, Munchkins, the couple secured backers and made several purchases of land. Each time, however, they were turned back by homophobic locals. In 1987, after Schoonmaker and Parkinson had given up on the dream of Stonewall Park, Schoonmaker was diagnosed with AIDS. He died the same year. Parkinson's fate is unknown.
The bulk of their collection spans the years 1984-1987 and pertains to Stonewall Park and related ventures, as well as the National Association of Lesbians and Gays (NALAG) and the Lavender Press, another of the couple's ventures. |
