Ken Popert’s name kept showing up in the historical research Jeff has been doing at the Human Sexuality Archive at Cornell, and for one of his courses, “Making Public Queer History.” 

Jeff recognized Ken’s name because I used to work at Pink Triangle Press (PTP) in Toronto, Canada where Ken was my direct report. I had also talked about PTP, and its founding publication, The Body Politic, in an interview (with Jeff as co-host) with the authors of “Out North: An Archive of Queer Activism and Kinship in Canada” about a year ago.

The notes for today's show are extensive. For guest bios, episode notes, and a "Historical Background of Gay Activism at Cornell" prepared by Jeffry J. Iovannone, please see the supporting article here:
