Symposium: "Making Invisible Histories Visible - Preserving the Legacy of Lesbian Feminist Activism and Writing in Los Angeles"

Join us as we celebrate the culmination of a three-year project that was a joint effort by the UCLA Center for the Study of Women (CSW), the June L. Mazer Lesbian Archives, and the UCLA Library, and was funded in part by a NEH grant. There will be a panel with presentations delivered by some of the participants in the project. This event will feature Col. Margarethe Cammermeyer, a Vietnam veteran, Bronze Star recipient, and Mazer Archive donor, who, with her lawyer, UCLA Law School Alum Mary Newcombe, who will also be present, successfully challenged the ban on gays and lesbians serving in the military. Cammermeyer and Newcombe will be giving a discussion regarding the political actions involved. 

 

Lizette Guerra, CSRC Librarian, was the archivist for this project, which was funded in part by an NEH grant. Michael Stone, CSRC Archives Manager, served as the digital project manager. The event, which is free and open to the public, is organized by the UCLA Center for the Study of Women and the UCLA Library and cosponsored by the Williams Institute. The CSW has published a resource guide to the archives' collections that includes essays by Guerra and Stone, among others. For information, contact csrcinfo@chicano.ucla.edu.
