Letting Loose and Fighting Back: Historians at the NYC LGBT Historic Sites Project will take you on a virtual tour of historic places in New York City where the LGBTQ community has found both liberation and oppression. This session will focus on bars, clubs, and restaurants that operated as early as the 1850s, illustrating the longstanding importance of such spaces to LGBTQ people and providing context for the famous Stonewall uprising of 1969.
April 18th from 2:30 - 3:30 PM
Confronting Homophobia in the Classroom: Historians at the NYC LGBT Historic Sites Project will take you on a virtual tour of historic places in New York City connected to LGBTQ teachers and students. Participants will learn about school safe spaces, such as the pioneering Institute for the Protection of Gay and Lesbian Youth in the 1980s, which led to the creation of today’s Harvey Milk High School and Hetrick-Martin Institute. There will also be a focus on sites of activism that illustrate how the LGBTQ community has fought back against homophobia in the public school system since the 1970s.
April 25th from 2:30 - 3:30 PM
This semester-long podcast project is produced in collaboration with Houses on the Moon Theater Company. We believe real human stories spark transformation and that students' unheard stories have the power to create real change in our world. Please contact us if you would like to schedule a virtual meeting to learn more about this programming for your students for the 2023/24 academic year.
Have a listen to our pilot season! Ep 1: "Don't Say Gay?" and Ep 2: "Art Class Matters!"
In the late 1980s, Eric Marcus began recording over 100 audio oral history interviews with LGBTQ activists and pioneers from the 20th century. These interviews informed Eric's authorship of two books and inspired the award-winning series Making Gay History–The Podcast.
Eric will come to your high school and provide an assembly for your students of his audio oral history tour using the Give Voice to History Project podcast series. Students will hear about Eric’s experiences meeting these extraordinary people and listen to their brave, funny, and often frustrating tales of championing LGBTQ equality.
Important Note: The Give Voice to History Project podcast series is produced in partnership with History UnErased for grades 6-12 and is different from the Making Gay History podcast series intended for adult audiences.
For K-12 educators who want to create LGBTQ-inclusive classrooms, getting started can be confusing--and quite often prompts some fear:
What if I say or do the wrong thing?
What if there is pushback?
And where do I even begin?
This podcast series provides real-world advice and reasonable, practical strategies on how you can create LGBTQ-inclusive classrooms. Check out our most recent episode!
