Tuesday, June 5, 7 p.m.
Rasmuson Hall, Room 101
The Family is proud to present "On These Shoulders We Stand," a documentary about
LGBT civil rights history before Stonewall. "On These Shoulders We Stand" provides
a history of LGBT civil rights struggles on the west coast from the 1950s to the present. It
is based on oral histories of elders who stood up against LGBT oppression, at great
risk to their jobs, relationships and even their lives. There is no charge for admission,
but donations will be cheerfully accepted. After the screening, Filmmaker/Oral Historian
Glenne McElhinney will be available for Q-and-A, along with 熊猫在线视频 LGBT elders.
An ASL interpreter will be provided if requested by Monday, June 5, at 5 p.m. by calling (907) 786-1215 or emailing uaa_slldesk@uaa.alaska.edu.
The Family presents this event with support from Student Life and Leadership, Campus Diversity and Compliance, Residence Life, Student Union and Commuter Student Services. Many thanks to the individual Anchorage LGBT Community members who donated miles, pitched in and organized to make this event possible including The Four A's and Anchorage PRIDE.
