Join us Monday, May at 1:00pm as we stream a live lecture tracing the work and legacy of long-time gay rights activist, Frank Kameny.

“In 1958, astronomer Frank Kameny was dismissed from the U.S. Army Map Service after refusing to answer questions about his sexual identity under President Eisenhower’s Executive Order 10450. That dismissal set him on a new course: Kameny became one of the nation’s first openly gay LGBT+ rights activists, founding a grassroots advocacy group and organizing the first demonstration for gay rights in front of the White House. Join Carolyn Crouch to explore how Kameny’s fight, sparked by the Lavender Scare of the 1950s, grew into a decades-long struggle for equality that would one day be recognized by President Barack Obama. This lecture will trace the pivotal moments of Kameny’s journey and the lasting impact of his activism.”

This lecture is completely free thanks to Road Scholar.
No registration is required.
