Oakland: Mama Bear's Presumed Publisher. Unbound. Good. Item #022695
no date, perhaps 1998. Single sheet, blue paper stock. 11 by 17 inches. Illustration of Pat Parker on the right side. A flyer for a tribute to Pat Parker held at the feminist/lesbian bookstore, coffeehouse and art gallery, Mama Bear's in Oakland. The event featured performances by Sandi Poindexter, Avotcja, Carolyn Brandy, Suekuie, 'Robin Nzinga, Rene Brown and Caroline, Gwen Avery, Opal Palmer Adisa, Mimi Fox, Ava Miller, Imani Harrington, Barbara Lamblin, Linda Adkinson, Matu Feliciano with Carlita Martinez and Lucrecia Bermudez. Based on years that February 28th was a Saturday, when Mama Bear's closed and when Pat Parker passed away, we feel the flyer may be from 1998. Pat Parker was a poet, author and activist, being part of the early Black Panther Party and eventually working for the gay and lesbian community as well. Much of her work drew on difficult experiences in her life. GOOD condition. Top right corner torn away and missing. Old tape remains at the lower corners. Corners creased. Some wrinkling. Staining at the center left edge and upper center of the paper.
