The 2nd Annual Bay Area Anarchist Music Festival took place on Friday, May 19th at the Edinburgh Castle (950 Geary St. at Larkin) in San Francisco, from 10pm onward. The event was a benefit for the Kate Sharpley Library (KSL). Performers included Emcee Lynx, Drowning Dog & Malatesta, and Nate Mezmer. Barry Pateman from the KSL spoke.

The Kate Sharpley Library was named in honor of Kate Sharpley, a World War I anarchist and anti-war activist, one of the countless "unknown" members of the movement who have been ignored by "official historians" of anarchism. The Library was founded in South London in 1979. The KSL has over 10,000 English language books, pamphlets and periodicals on anarchism, as well as posters, leaflets, manuscripts, letters, and internal records, and material in 20 additional languages. It regularly publishes new research on lost areas of anarchist history as well as historically important documents from the past. Read more about the event
