i found this album in the bargain bin last summer at my neighborhood record store. I put it on for the first time last night, with no expectations other than getting to hear some old-timey voices. and because I don't know my history, I WAS NOT PREPARED

some people probably know who this is and why this recording was made, but I SURE DIDN'T. i'm still a little shocked that this powerfully well-spoken LGBT leader existed and I didn't know her name. shame on me!!!
