{"value"=>"<p>The audio recordings consist of interviews, lectures, radio programs, and conference recordings.</p> <p>The interviews are in two sections: Katz's research interviews with gay artists and figures in the LGBTQ liberation movement; and interviews with Katz, usually on radio talk shows. Katz's interview subjects include independent scholar and activist Allan Bérubé; Barbara Gittings, organizer of the New York chapter of the Daughters of Bilitis; activist Harry Hay; the writer Christopher Isherwood; gay rights pioneers Morris Kight and W. Dorr Legg; Tony Segura, a founder of the homophile movement; composer/music critic Virgil Thomson; activist and author Randy Wicker; and the Reverend Robert Carter II, a gay Black clergyman. Also present are interviews with Ruth Peter Worth (a Jewish lesbian who escaped from Nazi Germany), conducted by Esther Newton. Katz carried out most of these interviews in the mid-1970s. Most of the interviews with Katz date from 1976 to 1977, when he was promoting <span class=\"title\">Gay American History</span>.</p> <p>The lectures (some of which are recordings of classes taught by Katz at the School for Marxist Studies) discuss gay history and date mainly from 1974 to 1977. They also include a lecture titled \"Toward a Marxist Theoretical Analysis of Homosexuality.\"</p> <p>Other audio recordings include a Gay Activists Alliance news conference regarding a near-riot over gay issues at a New York City Council meeting in 1973; a Katz-hosted radio program on gay history (for WBAI); the memorial service for Katz's mother, Phyllis; <span class=\"title\">Remembering Stonewall</span>, a radio program by Michael Scherker; and a demonstration of the composer Jane Staab singing.</p> <p>The moving image recordings include Katz's home film production of <span class=\"title\">Tom Sawyer</span> he made at age 13; family home movies in New York and other cities dating from the 1950s; a New York City May Day parade in the 1930s; and a performance at Music and Art High School, presumably from Katz's teen years.</p>"}
