  HISTORICAL TOUR OF LESBIAN LOS ANGELES

  Travel in cozy air-conditioned comfort as we meander through the
  diversity of L.A.'s lesbian herstory.  We will visit several sites
  which were significant in recent Lesbian herstory in Los Angeles, and
  our tour guide Yolanda Retter will answer the "who, what, when and
  where" .  We'll discuss the "why" enroute.  Many questions will be
  answered, including: where and what was the longest lasting lesbian
  project in L.A.?  Where did Lesbians of Color L.A. meet?  Where was
  the First National Lesbian Kiss-In held?  Is D.O.B.'s center still
  standing?  See many of the neighborhoods of L.A., get a sense of
  Lesbian history in L.A., and spend a Saturday with like-minded people.
    Our guide Yolanda has been a participant in Lesbian L.A. since 1971.

  EXPLORING THE LESBIAN AND GAY PAST

  Are you curious about the lesbian and gay past and how history gets
  written?  How can we learn about the past?  This one-day workshop
  introduces students to the methods historians use in learning about
  our history.  Documents such as photographs, newspaper articles,
  speeches, buttons, interviews, pulp fiction, advice books and letters
  all provide clues to the past experiences of gays and lesbians - this
  workshops looks at all of these and more.  We will discuss strategies
  for doing research into the lesbian and gay past, then groups of
  participants will try them out using historical documents.  This
  workshop is not only for budding historians; it is also designed for
  those curious about the lives of gays and lesbians in days gone by.
  Led by David Bianco, IGLE's historian.

  Sunday,  September 10    10 a.m. - 5 p.m.
  There will be a 1 hour lunch break.
  Fee $45.
