Regarding the eulogizing of Cass Eliot at the 1974 Womens' Equality Day celebration, an information correction: The woman who spoke onstage was Lyn McAffee, not Judy Freespirit. The entire Fat Underground stood onstage with her. Lyn (then known going by the name Lyn Mabel-Lois) was a powerful activist for fat liberation throughout most of its existence, continuing work in the Fat Underground until her move to upstate New York in 1976. I offer this information as a founder of the Fat Underground and co-author with Judy Freespirit of the Fat Liberation Manifesto in 1972 or 1973 (I'm fuzzy with dates.) At that time I went by the name Aldebaran. Thanks in advance for acknowledging Lyn's role in this seminal (better: ovanal) event.
