Talk at the Physician Forum’s annual dinner [together with] The unique US health activism history collection of the University of Pennsylvania Rare Book and Manuscript Library and the Institute of Social Medicine and Community Health

[Philadelphia]: the author, 1994, 2005. Two staplebound packets, very good, with text of speeches by the physician who held an abiding interest in the role of left-wing activism in health care. Lear came out as gay while serving on Philadelphia’s Health Commission in 1975; he went on to direct the US Health Left History Center in Philadelphia.. Lear’s archives are held at Penn; these are duplicates from his papers, obtained from his estate.

The "Talk at the Physician Forum’s annual dinner" was delivered in 1994 when Lear received the Paul B. Cornely award "in recognition of his life time of activism for gay and lesbian rights and justice for all oppressed peoples." The latter talk was given 2005 in Philadelphia.
