We are myriad communities in mourning for one woman, whose love for humanity was as multilayered as her pursuit of justice,” wrote Gibbs’ friend Karen D. Taylor, which includes photos, memories, and tributes to Gibbs from dozens of people. “So much so that she devoted nearly her entire life—from adolescence to death—to easing the constrictions and restrictions of unencumbered patriarchal capitalism on top of racism, sexism, and hatred of any non-hetero sexuality.” Read this extraordinary tribute to Joan by Karen Taylor and others.
