    Oral History Center University of California The Bancroft Library Berkeley, California The Freedom to Marry Oral History Project Evan Wolfson Evan Wolfson on the Leadership of the Freedom to Marry Movement Interviews conducted by Martin Meeker in 2015 and 2016 Copyright © 2017 by The Regents of the University of California ii Since 1954 the Oral History Center of the Bancroft Library, formerly the Regional Oral History Office, has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the nation. Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Evan Wolfson dated July 15, 2016. The manuscript is thereby made available for research purposes. All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to The Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley.

Up Verses Down: Poems, Paintings, and Serious Nonsense This stupendous poetry collection is full of zany characters—from Sleepy LaFeete, who chooses to snooze in the busiest spots, to Mister Adam Hatter and the Lovely Lady Wigg, who had a fig banquet and danced a fancy jig, to a guy named Rexx who uses exxtra Xs every now and then. It’s an irresist- ible feast: whimsical, hilarious, and always inspired. Calef Brown—master of wordplay and whimsy—serves up a spectacular verbal and visual banquet! Calef Brown began his career as a tour guide at an early age, when he discovered the simple joy of pointing things out. He is also an artist, writer, and frequently a blue elephant. Mr. Brown’s illustrations have appeared in many magazines and newspapers, and his paintings have been exhibited in N.Y., L.A., S.F., and other places without fancy initials, like Osaka and Rome.

    Books that cover LGBTQ History owned by the Haverhill Public Library, Haverhill MA Stand by me Title Stand by me : the forgotten history of gay liberation / Jim Downs. Production / Publication Information Athens : The University of Georgia Press, 2020. Summary With Stand by Me, Jim Downs rewrites the history of gay life in the 1970s, arguing that the decade was about much more than sex and marching in the streets. Drawing on a vast trove of untapped records at LGBT community centers in Los Angeles, New York, and Philadelphia, Downs tells moving, revelatory stories of gay people who stood together-as friends, fellow believers, and colleagues-to create a sense of community among people who felt alienated from mainstream American life. Stonewall Title Stonewall : the riots that sparked the gay revolution / by David Carter. Production / Publication Information New York : St. Martin's Press, 2004. Stonewall Title Stonewall : the definitive story of the LGBTQ rights uprising that changed America / Martin Duberman. Production / Publication Information [New York] : Plume, an imprint of Penguin Random House LLC, ©2019 Summary The Stonewall Inn was a gay bar in New York's Greenwich Village. At a little after one a.m. on the morning of June 28, 1969, the police carried out a routine raid on the bar. But it turned out not to be routine at all. Instead of cowering-- the usual reaction to a police raid-- the patrons inside Stonewall and the crowd that gathered outside the bar fought back against the police. The five days of rioting that followed changed forever the face of lesbian and gay life.

  • THE STATE of US Dear OUTWORDS Community, After the Past Year-Plus
    THE STATE OF US Dear OUTWORDS community, After the past year-plus, do we dare to hope? More folks are vaccinated, and the weather is warming up. As we tenderly emerge from the darkness of the past year, we are also aware that there is no “going back” to the way things were. If this is a difficult reality to accept, it also offers promise; undeniable issues rose to the surface during the pandemic that require our attention. Moving forward, may we continue to interrogate our individual and collective ways of living, to ensure they are sustainable, and that they promote peace and justice. BUILDING OUTWORDS’ CAPACITY Late last year, OUTWORDS received a $25,000 capacity-building grant from Gilead Science, focusing on two areas of operation: Development and Archive Optimization. Development is just what it sounds like: helping OUTWORDS create our first comprehensive 3-year fund development plan. Archive Optimization is about making sure that the portion of our website that hosts our Full Length Interviews is as user-friendly and functional as possible, for both casual browsing and in-depth research. The Development RFP (Request For Proposals) is here and the Archive Optimization RFP is here. Please feel free to share these RFPs with any folks whom you think might make great candidates (deadline: Friday, May 14). And thank you Gilead for your generous support!!
