Description

Live readings by Audre Lorde from her "Cancer Journal". She starts with personal readings in which she shares her experiences with breast cancer. She warns of the dangers of silence and denial and how to take action by becoming visible to one another about the issue. She goes on to discuss how the established cancer industry is motivated by profit and that prevention and alternative therapies are not considered within this environment. She concludes with a reading of her poem "Need" which is dedicated to Black women who were murdered. FROM THE CANCER JOURNALS / Audre Lorde.--RECORDED: KPFA, 1978. PRA Archive #AZ0974.
