This series surveys the tensions and solidarity points between the struggles for African American Civil Rights and LGBTQ+ Rights.

Speaker: Dr. Meredith Bagley

Course Dates: June 9, 16, 23 at 4 PM PST.

Lectures will examine queer-identified figures within the Civil Rights movement - after laying a working foundation for LGBTQ+ terminology - before moving forward to the ways the two movements overlap, inform, and occasionally exist in tension. Through a largely, but not exclusively, chronological approach, this four-part series will examine Black Lesbian Feminism, the Stonewall Riots, Marriage Equality, and the current crisis over gender-affirming health care.
