From Selma to Stonewall: A Talk by Mandy Carter

Presented by the Center for Diversity Education
Monday, February 23 at 7 PM
UNC-A, Karpen Hall, Room 038

Mandy Carter is a southern African-American lesbian social justice activist with a 47-year movement history of social, racial and LGBT justice organizing since 1968. Ms. Carter is the national coordinator of the Bayard Rustin Commemoration Project (BRCP) of the National Black Justice Coalition (for more information, see nbjc.org). She helped co-found two ground breaking organizations. Southerners On New Ground (SONG) and the National Black Justice Coalition (NBJC). She was also nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize.

Her talk will build the connections between the work of Bayard Rustin, organizer of the 1963 March on Washington, with the fight for equal rights for LGBTQ community and the current state of voting rights in North Carolina and across the country.

This presentation is sponsored by the Center for Diversity Education and is free and open to the public.
