U. of California Berkeley: The Bancroft Library’s Oral History Center Announces Release of “Freedom to Marry Oral History Project”
From U. of California Berkeley Library:
The Oral History Center is thrilled to release to the public the first major oral history project documenting the vast shift in public opinion about marriage, the consequential reconsideration of our nation’s laws governing marriage, and the actions of individuals and organizations largely responsible for these changes.
The Freedom to Marry Oral History Project produced 23 interviews totaling nearly 100 hours of recordings.
Interviewees include: Evan Wolfson, founder of Freedom to Marry; Kate Kendell, executive director of the National Center for Lesbian Rights; James Esseks, director of the ACLU’s LGBT & HIV project; and Thalia Zepatos, the movement’s “message guru” who worked at Freedom to Marry as director of research and messaging.
