Taken for New York Magazine the image of this banner is striking. I don't know who the makers are...anonymous, as is often the case in women's work. Was it made in a gathering? I don't know that either. But I can picture the women who are carrying it, sitting together in someone's Brooklyn flat cutting up old t-shirts for the lettering and deliberately choosing the bold colors; not unlike the Suffragists of 100 years ago. The story behind this banner I might not ever know, but the suggested story is one of an enthusiastic stitch gathering.
nice, you paint a good picture of community for a common cause. oh, and i love you too.
