  • Learning from Other Movements: Gay Liberation and Recovery Advocacy
    Hill, T. & White, W. (2015). Learning from other movements: Gay liberation and recovery advocacy. Posted at www.williamwhitepapers.com Learning from other Movements: Gay Liberation and Recovery Advocacy Tom Hill and William White1 Introduction For participants of the current recovery advocacy movement, there is much to learn from previous social movements. Lessons of considerable import can be gleaned from the movements that intersected in the 1960s, including the civil rights movement, the black power movement, the new left and anti-war movements, the women’s movement, and the gay liberation movement. While all of these are worthy of study, the gay liberation movement holds certain parallels, strategies, and lessons that may be of particular interest. This is due in large part to the societal myths and misunderstandings of both people who have experienced addiction and those with diverse sexual orientations and gender identities. The stigma attached to these groups has often rendered them expendable and, as a result, has forced them into hiding their experiences and identities. Members of the gay community, most prominently Bayard Rustin, played critical roles in the civil rights movement and later drew upon the lessons of the civil rights movement in the same way that members of the recovery advocacy movement are now drawing upon their experience within earlier social movements. Because the societal stigma and discrimination targeting these two groups have been so severe, they share similarities in the early stages of building a movement of social justice and change. The gay liberation movement – now inclusive of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) lives and identities – currently has 45 years of organizing and movement-building experience compared to the new recovery advocacy movement that emerged in the late 1990s and was formally organized at the 2001 recovery summit in St.

Bewitched! Bewildered! Bedazzled!By SylviastelAgnes Moorehead was more than Endora. She was the embodiment of the greatest American actress of stage, screen, radio, and television. This detailed biography by Charles Tranberg covers her personal and professional life with rich details. Sadly, she didn't live long enough but into her seventies. She and others from the forgettable film, "The Conquerors," would succumb to cancer as cause of death. The author covers her life from beginning to her end and explores her two failed marriages and an adopted son named Sean Moorehead.Her career came first for Agnes. If you read the appendices, you will see her abundance of work ranging from radio, stage, television and film throughout her career. She was a late bloomer and often played mother figures. She was nominated for an Academy Award four times. Perhaps if she had lived longer, she would have been awarded an honorary Academy Award.
