June DE&I Newsletter Maron Marvel Bradley Anderson & Tardy LLC 2021 Diversity Calendar June 2021 Day(s) Group, Culture or Cause Recognized All Month LGBT Pride Month For years, living openly as an LGBT individual was illegal in the U.S. Beginning in the 1950s, there were small skirmishes between members of the LGBT community and police, but then, on June 28, 1969, New York City police raided an LBGT bar, the Stonewall Inn. In response, patrons and supporters spontaneously began a multi- day protest and organized course of resistance to combat harassment and mistreatment by police. This course of resistance is considered as the beginning of the gay civil rights movement in the USA. In commemoration of the Stonewall Uprising, the first gay pride marches occurred in June 1970, and over the years, pride activities, parades, and marches expanded and spread throughout the U.S. and the world. June is now recognized as LGBT Pride Month in the U.S. to honor the 1969 Stonewall Uprising and to work towards equal justice and equal opportunity for LGBTQ people. President Barack Obama also designated the Stonewall National Monument, making the Stonewall Inn the first national landmark dedicated to the story of the struggles for equal protection of LGBT individuals. “Rights are won only by those who make their voices heard.” – Harvey Milk, one of the first openly gay elected officials in the U.S., assassinated in November 1978 {99999.00931 / W1295090} Day(s) Group, Culture or Cause Recognized All Month African American Music Appreciation Month On June 7, 1979 President Jimmy Carter declared that June would be known as Black Music Month.

  • Fallas Festival
    FALLAS FESTIVAL Fallas is a traditional celebration held in commemoration of Saint Joseph in Valencia, Spain. The term Fallas refers to both the celebration and the monuments created during the celebration. A number of towns in the Valencian Community have similar celebrations inspired by the original in Valencia. Each neighbourhood of the city has an organized group of people, the Casal faller that works all year long holding fundraising parties and dinners, usually featuring the famous speciality paella. Each casal faller produces a construction known as a falla which is eventually burnt. Fallas and ninots. Formerly, much time would be spent by the Casal faller preparing the ninots (Valencian for puppets or dolls). During the week leading up to March 19, each group takes its ninot out for a grand parade, and then mounts it, each on its own elaborate firecracker-filled cardboard and paper-mache artistic monument in a street of the given neighbourhood. This whole assembly is a falla. The ninots and their fallas are constructed according to an agreed upon theme that has traditionally been, and continues to be, a satirical jab at anything or anyone who draws the attention of the critical eyes of the falleros. In modern times, the whole two week long festival has spawned a huge local industry, to the point that an entire suburban area has been designated the City of Fallas - Ciutat fallera. Here, crews of artists and artisans, sculptors, painters, and many others all spend months producing elaborate constructions of paper and wax, wood and styrofoam tableaux towering up to five stories, composed of fanciful figures in outrageous poses arranged in gravity-defying architecture, each produced at the direction of the many individual neighbourhood Casals faller who vie with each other to attract the best artists, and then to create the most outrageous monument to their target.

  • Vibeke Final Version
    The Changing Place of Animals in Post-Franco Spain with particular reference to Bullfighting, Popular Festivities, and Pet-keeping. Vibeke Hansen A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Sociology University of Essex October 2015 Abstract This is a thesis about the changing place of animals in post-Franco Spain, with particular reference to bullfighting, popular festivities, and pet-keeping. The thesis argues that since the ‘transition’ to democracy (1975-1982), which made Spain one of the most liberal social-democratic states in Europe, there have been several notable developments in human-animal relations. In some important respects, Spain has begun to shed its unenviable reputation for cruelty towards animals. Three important changes have occurred. First, bullfighting (corridas) has been banned in the Canary Islands (1991) and in Catalonia (2010). In addition, numerous municipalities have declared themselves against it. Second, although animals are still widely ‘abused’ and killed (often illegally) in local festivities, many have gradually ceased to use live animals, substituting either dead ones or effigies, and those that continue to use animals are subject to increasing legal restrictions. Third, one of the most conspicuous changes has been the growth in popularity of urban pet-keeping, together with the huge expansion of the market for foods, accessories and services - from healthy diets to cemeteries. The thesis shows that the character of these changing human-animal relations, and the resistance
