Historical Note:
While the quest for equal rights has been pursued by generations, it is generally acknowledged that the modern day Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) civil rights movement began in New York City in June 1969 with the Stonewall Riots. Prior to this time a number of activists, individuals, and organizations such as The Mattachine Society, Daughters of Bilitis and others, fought to bring recognition of LGBT civil rights to the forefront of American society. While the movement was primarily, and most visably, centered in New York City and San Francisco, periodicals, guide books, and ephemeral material interconnected the larger LGBT community throughout the United States. The increased visibility of the LGBT movement inspired affinity groups at odds with the LGBT community's new found visibility and quest for broader civil rights. The challenge to what was termed "traditional" values encouraged these counter-LGBT groups to define and solidfy their constituency and also become more pro-active. This collection comprises material that is generated by individuals and organizations promoting both points of view.

Scope and Contents:
The Metropolitan Community Church (MCC), later the Universal Fellowship Metropolitan Community Church (UFMCC), was founded by the Reverend Mr. Troy Perry in 1968. From their website, "Founded in 1968, Metropolitan Community Churches (MCC) has been at the vanguard of civil and human rights movements by addressing issues of race, gender, sexual orientation, economics, climate change, aging, and global human rights. MCC was the first to perform same-gender marriages and has been on the forefront of the struggle towards marriage equality in the USA and other countries worldwide." (MCC website accessed 2019 December 13)

This series contains photographs from the Perry family, MCC events, materials related to and developed by the HIV/AIDS ministry under the direction of the Reverend Mr. A. Stephen Pieters. There are also publications, anniversary books, a program from the 2019 convention in Orlando, Florida and a 1993 typescript of MCC history.

Biographical / Historical:
Bil Browning (William Dale Browning) was born in Zanesville, Ohio in 1972. Jerame Davis (Jerame Joe Davis) was born in Columbus, Indiana in 1975. After coming out as gay in high school, Browning joined the Clinton presidential election campaign and the organization ACT UP (AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power) in 1992. Davis worked for multiple LGBT organizations, including Indiana Equality, Indiana Fairness Network, Columbus Gay/Straight Alliance, Indiana Stonewall Democrats, and Pride at Work.

In the late 1990s, Browning and Davis were involved in an employment discrimination case against Fast Max Sunoco in Indiana. This case served as a catalyst for them to continue championing LGBT rights. The same case resulted in their organizing the internet's first gay rights grassroots online action against the local company that had fired them. Since then, Browning has won multiple awards for his work as an activist. He is also a board member of the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association, and an advisory board member of the Woodhull Sexual Freedom Alliance. Davis has served as the executive director of the National Stonewall Democrats.

Together, Browning and Davis were the co-owners of the Bilerico Project, a group blog that chronicled Indiana politics and LGBT issues for nearly 11 years. On June 30th, 2015, Browning made his last post on the blog, saying that he was taking time off to work on his book. Browning and Davis separated in 2023.

Scope and Contents:
Sabrina Motley; Alsarah; Tattiana Aqeel; Ysaye Maria Barnwell; Be Steadwell; Alexis DeVeaux; Alexis Pauline Gumbs; Ariel Horowitz; Carolyn Malachi; Roya Marsh; Holly Near; Toshi Reagon and BIGLovely; Martha Redbone; Urban Bush Women; Venus Thrash; the Bernice Johnson Reagon Songbook; Join us in celebrating the fortieth anniversary of Roadwork, a multiracial coalition that puts women artists on the road globally. Founded in 1978 by women leaders from African American civil rights, women's, global justice, and lesbian-feminist movements, Roadwork aims to transform consciousness and create new movements in global arts and social justice. Their coalitions across race, gender, sexual orientation, and economic class match the foundations of intersectional activism today. Performers include Alsarah, Tattiana Aqeel, Ysaye Maria Barnwell, Be Steadwell, Alexis DeVeaux, Alexis Pauline Gumbs, Ariel Horowitz, Carolyn Malachi, Roya Marsh, Holly Near, Toshi Reagon and BIGLovely, Martha Redbone, Urban Bush Women, Venus Thrash, and selections from the Bernice Johnson Reagon Songbook. Their diverse blend of influences from East African retro pop and jazz to classical canon and beatboxing end the 2018 Folklife Festival and lead us into the future—the social power of music will be our theme in 2019.
