Specifically, the bill would bar sexual orien- tation discrimination on current service mem- bers and future recruits. The measure also bans armed forces’ discharges based on sexual ori- entation from the date the law is enacted, at the same time the bill stipulates that soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Coast Guard members previ- ously discharged under the policy be eligible for re-enlistment. “For too long, gay and lesbian service members have been forced to conceal their sexual orien- tation in order to dutifully serve their country,” Burris said March 3.

Dell Katherine “Kit” Duffy Adrienne J. Goodman Marie J. Kuda Mary D. Powers 2 3 4 CHICAGO LGBT HALL OF FAME The Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame (formerly the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame) is both a historic event and an exhibit. Through the Hall of Fame, residents of Chicago and the world are made aware of the contributions of Chicago’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) communities and the communities’ efforts to eradicate bias and discrimination. With the support of the City of Chicago Commission on Human Relations, its Advisory Council on Gay and Lesbian Issues (later the Advisory Council on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Issues) established the Chicago Gay and Lesbian Hall of Fame (changed to the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame in 2015) in June 1991. The inaugural induction ceremony took place during Pride Week at City Hall, hosted by Mayor Richard M. Daley. This was the first event of its kind in the country. Today, after the advisory council’s abolition and in partnership with the City, the Hall of Fame is in the custody of Friends of the Chicago LGBT Hall of Fame, an Illinois not- for-profit corporation with a recognized charitable tax-deductible status under Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3).

  • Folklife Today September 2019: Chicago Ethnic Arts Project
    Folklife Today September 2019: Chicago Ethnic Arts Project Announcer: From the Library of Congress in Washington DC John Fenn: Welcome to the Folklife Today podcast. I’m John Fenn, and I’m here with my colleague Stephen Winick. Steve Winick: Hello! John Fenn: We’re both folklorists at the American Folklife Center here at the Library of Congress. I’m the head of Research and Programs, and Steve is the Center’s writer and editor, as well as the creator of the Folklife Today blog. Steve Winick: And today, we’re joined by several guests from the AFC to talk about an online collection of ours, the Chicago Ethnic Arts Project collection. This was the first of AFC's historic field projects, and the collection was digitized and then made available on the Library of Congress’s website just about two years ago. And a lot has been going on with it since, so, we've asked some of our colleagues to help us talk about it. Our first guest is our coordinator of Processing, Ann Hoog. Hi Ann! Ann Hoog: Hello! John Fenn: Ann, you know the collection quite well since you were involved in getting it ready for public online access. Where do we start? Ann Hoog: Well, let me first say that I do know it fairly well, but it is such an immense resource that I am still learning new things about it! But a good place to start is with the type of collection that it is – meaning, how it came to be. As you can tell by its name, the Chicago Ethnic Arts Project collection, represents materials from a cultural research and documentation project, or survey, that was undertaken in 1977.
