There were plenty of images of Pat when she was still Patricia Cooks, a bright-eyed youngster. One photograph that was a complete disconnect for me was the image of her snuggled up 
with her former husband, not the African American one, the white one. Another sweet image is of Pat sitting in an elementary school classroom looking intently at the face of a young Black boy.
Viewers can see this image and other forthcoming images on the Sister Comrade web site. Also, do keep checking back for updates on plans to bring Sister Comrade to Atlanta and New York. Lisbet envisions a 4-day event that will include opportunities for inter-generational connections, literary and visual art presentations and of course the final evening performances. The web site will also include uploads of high quality audio and digital video excerpts from the event.
Lisbet is looking for recommendations for progressive or otherwise reputable on-line booksellers. She said the SC event has generated a lot of interest in Pat and Audre’s books and she would like to link a bookseller on the SC website.
Please contact Lisbet directly if you want to lend support to this project in New York or Atlanta or have a recommendation for a bookseller. E-mail: sistercomrade@yahoo.com
The tribute was to honor Pat and Audre not in any type of passive nostalgic way but in a way that would rejuvenate and energize “old heads” plus inform and educate a younger generation of lesbians who may be unfamiliar with the literary work of Pat Parker, Audre Lorde and their contemporaries.
Oba ase.
