New article with Cathy A. R. Brant out now--available online and in print soon. Before Stonewall: Early LGBTQ+ Activism in Philadelphia, in Social Studies and the Young Learner. In this article, we present two curated text sets, each featuring a primary source analysis activity to engage upper elementary students in an examination of LGTBQ+ activism in Philadelphia between 1965 and 1969 as part of a larger unit on civil rights activism in the United States. Through engagement with the text sets shared in this article, students are encouraged to build understanding of LGBTQ+ history and make connections between organizers’ efforts and the work of Black civil rights advocates who inspired LGBTQ+ activists. Thus, teachers and students can learn not only about LGBTQ+ people and Black civil rights activists, but also directly from them through primary and secondary sources.

On #Juneteenth (June 19), a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans, we are reminded that the work of equality, justice, freedom, inclusion, and belonging never stop. Black Queer people, who for too long have been historically overlooked and marginalized, have always played an integral role in fighting for and shaping the LGBTQ+ community. And they have done it in the face of adversities that other people have not, do not, and will not face. To this day, they continue to face unique challenges in and out of the workplace because of their intersecting identities. We must always remember that the LGBTQ+ community is not a monolith. The success of our larger movement requires gaining a better understanding of, and investing in solutions that mitigate or eradicate, these unique challenges. It requires that we raise up the voices who have done so much in the fight for equality. It requires we lead with inclusion and belonging. At Out & Equal, we’re committed to advancing the community and achieving our mission by understanding the experiences of all of the communities that make up our movement. To learn more on what you can do, please revisit Out & Equal’s February 2024 Newsletter, which includes important resources and discusses both the power of intersectionality and how we can support Black Queer voices.
