                <text>In this oral history interview, Beth Marschak (W'72) sat down with Jisu Song ('22) and Shira Greer ('22) on June 17, 2019 at University of Richmond Downtown. Over the course of the one hour interview, Marschak talks about growing up in the city of Richmond, being the first in her family to attend college, being a commuter student, majoring in political science, her political involvement on and off campus--including the founding of OWL (Organization for Women's Liberation) and SHAME (Studying and Halting the Assault on Man and Environment) and the anti-Vietnam War movement on campus, a teacher exchange program with Virginia Union University, growing up Southern Baptist, becoming involved in civil rights during high school, her experience as a lesbian both on campus and in Richmond during the 1970s, and what she learned about women's leadership as a student at Westhampton College.&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Beth Marschak grew up in Richmond and was actively engaged in the social change movements of the 1960&amp;rsquo;s and 1970&amp;rsquo;s- Civil Rights, the Women&amp;rsquo;s Liberation Movement, the Ecology Movement, the Peace Movement, and Lesbian and Gay Liberation. In her early years, she lived in Lakeside, a white working class neighborhood, then her family moved to the far west end. She came out as a lesbian in the early 1970&amp;rsquo;s, and openly identified as a lesbian in her civil rights and human rights activism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://memory.richmond.edu/files/misc/MarschakBeth_1971-01.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the time she graduated from Westhampton College, University of Richmond, with a BA in political science in 1972, Beth had already helped to start a women&amp;rsquo;s group on campus, and a local chapter of the National Women&amp;rsquo;s Political Caucus. She actively engaged with SCLC (Southern Christian Leadership Conference) for many marches and other actions and was an active member of the Woody Guthrie Community Center. She participated in Gay Awareness in Perspective and helped to start Richmond-Lesbian Feminists in 1975. Beth was instrumental in starting a number of coalition efforts including the Virginia Coalition for Lesbian and Gay Rights (VCLGR) and the Richmond Lesbian and Gay Pride Coalition.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Starting as a representative of the Lesbian Caucus, Beth served on the National Steering Committee of the National Women&amp;rsquo;s Political Caucus for 16 years. Here in Richmond, she served on the Board of the Richmond YWCA for 8 years. In 1978, she was appointed by President Jimmy Carter to the International Women&amp;rsquo;s Year Continuing Committee. And, in 1988, as a Jesse Jackson Delegate, she served as the first &amp;ldquo;out&amp;rdquo; Virginia delegate to a national presidential convention.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://memory.richmond.edu/files/misc/MarschakBeth_2019-02.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Beth Marschak&amp;rsquo;s work and advocacy garnered the Richmond Human Rights Coalition Human Rights Award in 1983, and the Richmond YWCA Outstanding Woman of the Year Award in Human Relations in 1990. The Richmond Lesbian and Gay Pride Coalition recognized Beth with awards in 1990, 1993 and 1999. In 2008, Beth co-authored the book Lesbian and Gay Richmond. On November 1, 2008, she conducted the first bus tour featuring the history of the LGBTQ+ community for the Valentine Richmond History Center, where she is a master tour guide. In 2009 Equality Virginia recognized her as one of 20 Outstanding Virginians. Beth has continued as an activist, and participates in Richmond Lesbian-Feminists (which she co-founded in 1975), Southerners on New Ground (SONG), and is on the Board of Diversity Richmond. She recently curated an exhibit at the Diversity Richmond Iridian Gallery: Truthful History Heals, which examined future visions for Monument Avenue, and worked with Ayana Obika as co-chairs of the Diversity Richmond Programs Committee to organize a roundtable community conversation on racism and racial bias in the LGBTQ+ community.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                <text>University of Richmond President, Richard Morrill, orders the Commission on Diversity to address the multiple incidents&amp;rsquo; of minority students experiencing racism on campus. All aspects of racism will be reviewed by the commission including the treatment of black employees on campus. As the ratio of black students, faculty, and staff to white students, faculty, and staff is extremely uneven, the university intends to &amp;ldquo;double the number of minority and international students currently enrolled within five years and there will also be a concerted effort to increase black faculty.&amp;rdquo; There is also debate on the curriculum at the University of Richmond with hopes to increase the level of interest and enrollment in multicultural classes. Not only does the university hope to raise notice in diverse classes, but it also strives to attract and accept more students of color. The University of Richmond believes that this can be done through &amp;ldquo;academic scholarships available for black students,&amp;rdquo; and various other grants &amp;ldquo;in order to increase the pool of qualified applicants for admissions."</text>

                <text>This cartoon shows a white ventriloquist agreeing to his sentiment of, "We were all mighty happy until we were interfered with... Weren't we?" with a blackface-wearing ventriloquist's dummy. This refers to forced integration that occurred in public schools during the Civil Rights Movement. As the ventriloquist act occurs, the white man is suffocating a bound black man who represents "over 10,000,000 Negro U.S. 'citizens.'" This illustration is captioned as "the editorial voice of this issue" and urges the Board of Trustees to "continue action on this problem vital to our University."</text>

                <text>This article from the &lt;em&gt;Collegian&lt;/em&gt; in 1984 summarizes lectures given by four women historians in a symposium on "Women in Southern Society" as part of the Douglas Southall Freeman lecture series at the University of Richmond. Speaker Catherine Clinton argued that "serious consideration of women is marred by sexism in history," and that the role of women in the South has been overlooked as "the history of Southern women ends virtually with World War II." Speaker Martha Swain discussed how Southern women were "an organizing force in communities" and asserted that the existence of some national organizations such as the Daughters of the American Revolution, Society for American College Women, and Mothers Against Drunk Drivers is due to the efforts of Southern women. Speaker Sharon Harley spoke on the intersectionality of race, class, and gender in regards to black women in Southern urban cities such as Baltimore, Washington D.C., and Birmingham. Speaker Lois Helmbold lectured on "the Depression's effect on working-class black and white women in the South, and she argued that "sexism, classism, and racism have not disappeared; they have just taken other forms."</text>

                <text>This &lt;em&gt;Collegian&lt;/em&gt; article summarizes the main points of Dick Gregory's lecture on campus in 1970. Dick Gregory was a black comedian, author, actor, activist, and civil rights leader. His speech was attended by a crowd of about 800, mainly consisting of students. Gregory states that the duty of young people is to "get blamed for everything" as they are the "new American nigger" and "Indian," however, he asserts that the young people are key to solving "this country's problems." Gregory goes on to elaborate that minorities are scapegoats that are blamed for all of the country's problems. He points out racism in the United States as "beautiful people" such as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X are being wiped out while others are ignored by the police. He states that this racism has trickled down to the black youth. He gives an example of a five-year-old black boy who, when asked to draw himself, draws a picture of an animal&amp;mdash;Gregory views this is a result of black people being stereotyped as wrongdoers while those in policy-making positions are white. Gregory argues that black people in America are "reacting to your racism." After Dick Gregory's speech, many alumni were irate and sent letters to President Modlin articulating their concerns that he was allowed to speak on campus. Some alumni even ceased their donations, but President Modlin affirmed the principle of free speech as essential to the University. In 1973, Dick Gregory returned to campus to speak in another lecture series.</text>

                <text>The bottom photograph features the members of the Student Organization for Black Awareness (SOBA), the first black student organization at the university. The University of Richmond enrolled its first black residential student, Barry Greene, onto the main campus in 1968. SOBA was created because black students felt that the social life on campus was lacking for them. Members of SOBA were involved in planning Black History Week, community service endeavors, and in the black church community. They also worked with the admissions office to actively recruit more minority students and advocated for more faculty of color as well.</text>

                <text>This is a picture of Dick Gregory, a black comedian, author, actor, activist, and civil rights leader, who came to speak on campus in December 1970 as part of a lecture series. His speech was attended by a crowd of about 800, mainly consisting of students. After Dick Gregory's speech, many alumni were irate and sent letters to President Modlin articulating their concerns that he was allowed to speak on campus. Some alumni even ceased their donations, but President Modlin affirmed the principle of free speech as essential to the University. In 1973, Dick Gregory returned to campus to speak in another lecture series.</text>
