Abstract:
The Hank M. Tavera Papers, 1952-2000, reflect a lifetime of work as a Chicano, HIV/AIDS, and gay activist; notably, Tavera's role as co-founder of The California and National Latina/o Lesbian and Gay Organization (LLEGO), co-authoring the multi-cultural plan for Dignity, and his work at the San Francisco AIDS Foundation and San Francisco City Clinic. Tavera's involvement in numerous cultural and artistic organizations and activities are also represented in the collection, particularly in annual productions of AIDS Theater Festivals; the Latino/a AIDS Theater Festivals; Performing Arts Shows of Latino/a Gay, Lesbian Bisexual and Transgender Artists; directorship of several plays; and his official roles in Teatro Nacional de Aztlán (TENAZ) and California Theater Council (CTC). The collection consists of correspondence, organization materials, business records, writings, personal papers, teaching materials, proposals, programs, newsletters, photographs, audiocassettes, posters, newspaper clippings, and ephemera.
