For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource 2008 - Rev. Cedric Harmon, Co-Founded with Ann Thompson Cook, Many Voices: A Black Church Movement for Gay and Transgender Justice. Subject The topic of the resource Seeking to create radically inclusive churches that warmly welcome and fully integrate LGBTQ people, Harmon has worked from the pulpit, lectured at universities, published books, spoken at conferences, created podcasts, and produced videos. His work with other organizations has involved the Metropolitan Community Church of Corpus Christi, the Reconciling Ministries Network, the Metropolitan Community Church of Washington, D.C., and the Metropolitan Community Church of New York. Believing that faith can make one effective in changing the world, Harmon gave a speech called 'Becoming A Spiritual Force.' He has been a faith leadership trainer, such as in 2019 for the Unitarian Universalist Association and in 2020 when Harmon ran a seminar for the Applied Wisdom Institute at the Graduate School of Theology, University of the Redlands, in their program offering a Certificate in LGBTQ Leadership. Most notable are two video campaigns Harmon's church launched. The one in 2014 was Black Southern Pastors' Call for LGBT Justice. It featured straight clergy challenging the use of scripture to promote stereotypes from the pulpit in ways that encourage the community to remain hostile to LGBT people who should be welcomed into fellowship. Many Voices issued a second video campaign 2016 called ' My God Too: Black LGBTQ Students Speak OUT.' It raised awareness of the Christian background and aspirations of students at HBCUs. Description An account of the resource Raised in an African American Baptist family, Harmon was eight when he received a call to the ministry. Declaring himself gay in 1994 was an act that began his life work of helping Black Churches welcome their LGBT members.

Not only must they expend their energies defending themselves from anti-trans forces external to their communities. But they also must fight their communities where the rule of whiteness in LGBTQ organizations tends to ignore or minimize their needs. In one case, for example, The Boston Globe reports that Queer, trans, and Black, Indigenous, people of color (BIPOC) activists have called on Boston Pride to make changes since 2015. That happened when Black Lives Matter demanded the organization to diversify the board, allow BIPOC activists control of Black and Latino Pride events, and reexamine corporate sponsorships, among other things. It was not only Black Lives Matter but a broad coalition of activists demanding that Boston Pride decolonize its policies. According to the Globe, the coalition demanding change included Trans Resistance, Massachusetts Transgender Political Coalition, Urban Pride, the Center for Black Equity, Boston Black Pride, Boston Dyke March, and Pride for the People. One reason they insisted on change is because of inequitable resource distribution. For instance, Boston Pride only allocates $10,000 so that Black Trans people can organize on their behalf when the total Boston Pride budget is $500,000. That is 2% of their budget when 23.5% of Boston is of African descent. Jo Trigilio, who resigned from the Boston Pride communications team around this issue, told the Globe, as a former insider, that Boston Pride sees itself being attacked when community people ask for their needs to be served. Instead of performing like "these are our people," Boston Pride regards a community insistence on service "as antagonistic," Trigilio explains. This may explain why the coalition became so angry when Boston Pride "removed a statement from its newsletter supporting Black Lives Matter" that it organized its alternative pride march. https://www.exhibits.lgbtran.org/files/original/16f3c3cd407584baf3bef9175bce7e14.jpeg 5a299ca8b8933e9ad95ac3532af059fe Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

She and her husband were convicted of fraud and sent to prison because they signed a marriage license to be legally married, and she collected his military pension.

She told her mother that she was not a boy; she demanded to be called Lucy instead of Tobias and wanted to wear a dress to school. https://www.exhibits.lgbtran.org/files/original/805ef5d334926632faeb85791ab8141b.jpeg ed3a19acd195a17bac303cc7fb9acab6 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource The Historical Development of BIPOC Trans-spiritual Leadership YouTube Video A video hosted on YouTube. YouTube ID Eleven-character ID assigned by YouTube XkQo_yr4A_w Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound Weesageyachak is the Cree term for the constellation that in English, is called Orion. In our language, Weesageyachak is known as a trickster character...but more than just a trickster character..the character or the energy of Weesageyachak is something that changes all the time. So, in that sense, Weesageyachak is a ongoing creator of the world or of energy. I wanted to start with this because...if you look at the term, Weesageyachak, if you break it down, the first part means sour or tart (there's a play on words there), and the last part of the word, ahchak, means star. So if I say, kitahchak, its referring to your spirit. So, there's an understanding in this being that there's a continuum of energy that links us to our cosmology, that links us to the wider universe. This continuum of energy has existed since the beginning of time as we know it. Another interesting thing about Weesageyachak is Weesageyachak is not a gendered character. So in hearing the stories, you'll see that Weesageyachak can be a male or female or plant or animal. So on the highest spiritual level within the Cree cosmological understanding, there is no such thing as gender. So imagine that. So that's the starting place we're coming from today, is recognizing and validating that our knowledge system isn't just something that we came up with or read about. It is something that's intimately connected to land, water, and beyond that, the entire universe. So the stories are ancient and connect to our origin story as human.

Title A name given to the resource Reverend Bobbi Jean Baker Subject The topic of the resource Minister Bobbie Jean Baker pulled herself up from drugging and stealing in the streets to become an influential figure in the transgender movement. Her story exemplifies how choosing a spiritual life can enable a person to reverse a downward spiral. That was the victory she had when she decided to take a different path after incarceration and never looked back. She became an usher at the City of Refuge UCC in San Francisco. She joined and enjoyed singing with the Transcendence Gospel Choir. Minister Baker was appointed adjutant and minister in training with Bishop Yvette Flunder. Minister Baker enrolled in seminary at the Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley and served as the West Coast Regional TransSaints Minister of the Fellowship of Affirming Ministries. Additionally, Bobbi Jean Baker was a lay minister at Transcending Transgender Ministries. She worked for several Bay Area non-profits as a speaker and workshop leader. The skill development involved her various roles, including serving others as a peer advocate, case manager, and housing manager. Additionally, she was certified as an HIV Risk Assessment Counselor and as a Domestic Violence Specialist.
