Description An account of the resource 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. Beth Marschak grew up in Richmond and was actively engaged in the social change movements of the 1960’s and 1970’s- Civil Rights, the Women’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’s, and openly identified as a lesbian in her civil rights and human rights activism. <img src="https://memory.richmond.edu/files/misc/MarschakBeth_1971-01.jpg" alt="" /> 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’s group on campus, and a local chapter of the National Women’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. Starting as a representative of the Lesbian Caucus, Beth served on the National Steering Committee of the National Women’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’s Year Continuing Committee. And, in 1988, as a Jesse Jackson Delegate, she served as the first “out” Virginia delegate to a national presidential convention. <img src="https://memory.richmond.edu/files/misc/MarschakBeth_2019-02.jpg" alt="" /> Beth Marschak’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.

Description An account of the resource In this opinion piece, appearing in the University of Richmond’s newspaper The Collegian’s Forum, Christian pop singer and anti-gay activist Anita Bryant responds to backlash concerning her impending visit to the University of Richmond. In particular, she responds to an article titled “To Anita Bryant: Moderation, Please” written on October 6. Bryant claims that although she considers homosexuality a “sin,” she does not care how those people live privately. She also responds to a Collegian Forum piece written by Francis Kinsey (’78) who is appalled and disgusted by the University’s decision to host Anita Bryant. In response, Bryant refers to the University of Richmond as a “Christian college,” thus it should be concerned with the teaching of homosexuality as a sin. In support of her homophobic argument, she further attempts to justify her fight against the Dade County ordinance in Miami, an ordinance that banned discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Save_Our_Children" target="_blank">It is worth noting that Anita Bryant led the coalition “Save Our Children, Inc.” against the Dade County ordinance in 1977.</a> Subject The topic of the resource Bryant, Anita College students--Attitudes Homophobia LGBTQ people Performers Religion Language A language of the resource English Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context Collegian65.11.4-19971201.JPG Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Green, Anita Bryant.

Description An account of the resource This letter to the editor written by Richmond College sophomore David Burns outlines Burns' argument for the removal of dormitory visitation codes. At the time, women were only allowed in Richmond College dorms during specific hours on weekends, doors to rooms had to be open, and no alcohol was allowed on the premises. Burns argued that this was "so blatantly illegal and in direct violation of our (students ) constitutional rights." Burns went on to claim that this limit on visition by women was discrimination "against heterosexuals." Burns claims that this policy has "sordid moral implications" and says "we must counteract this evil, by immedately lifting all restrictions for female visitation, thus giving heterosexuality a fighting chance." He ends his letter by asking that people think of their children and stating "Remember Sodom and Gomorrah."

Wade decision concerning abortion. More than 300,000 people marched at this rally, making it "the biggest march on Washington since the Civil Rights rally of August 28, 1963." Westhampton College sophomore Lisa Lindstrom expresses her disappointment that more students did not attend the rally, but she was surprised that the "majority of the participants were 30 or older" as she had "expected mostly younger people to march." She also remarks that "as many guys as girls marched" and that there were also "equal rights' supporters, lesbians and gay people" at the rally. Lindstrom observed grandmothers and families wearing buttons that said things like "Another Grandmother for Choice" and "Four Generations for Pro-Choice." Meghan Matulka, also a Westhampton College sophomore, attended the march with her brother, his fiance and his fiance's family. Matulka expresses her surprise at seeing how far people had come to attend the rally as flags of many countries and states were represented. Matulka states that the rally shows that "a lot of people still believe in the saying that 'If one is oppressed, we all are.'"

The demonstration was interrupted by senior Charlie Kennon, who called it an "abomination under God." ROTC students were told not to wear uniforms to "protect them from harassment."

Description An account of the resource This Collegian article sheds light on the Richmond gay bar Godfrey’s as a source of refuge for LGBTQ+ students who attend the University of Richmond and wish for an alternative to Greek affiliated events. Common Ground director Glyn Hughes explains that Greek life on campus is heteronormative, meaning that it assumes everyone in the community is heterosexual. Although Greek leaders disagree that fraternities and sororities add to the homophobic atmosphere of University of Richmond’s campus, gay 2008 graduate Jason Tseng, along with other LGBTQ+ students, claim that the University is a, “…hostile climate for queer people.” This hostility can be attributed in part to gender segregated housing and the coordinate college system in general, says Tseng. Despite administrative efforts to promote campus inclusivity by Strategic Plan, Hughs notes that change in campus culture must come from students as well. In terms of promoting LGBTQ+ visibility on campus, Andy Gurka, area coordinator for the University Forest Apartments, discusses his experience as gay on campus and concludes that “being out has been a benefit to the community."

Title A name given to the resource Article "Richmond students arrested at sit-in" Subject The topic of the resource LGBTQ students Student life Homophobia Diversity Homosexuality LGBTQ people Protests Description An account of the resource This article describes a student protest held on October 11, 2006, in support of the "Right to Serve" campaign. This civil rights campaign was supported by Soulforce, a social justice organization for LGBTQ acceptance. The protest took place at the Armed Forces Career Center at the Shops at Willow Lawn in the form of a sit-in against the military's "Don't ask, don't tell" policy. Prior to the sit-in, a University of Richmond student conducted a nonviolence training session, including a nonviolence pledge and suggested actions. This training was followed by a press conference, explaining the anticipated rejection of LGBTQ identified military applicants. The sit-in included 20 protesters, including students from the University of Richmond and Virginia Commonwealth University, faculty, and staff. Henrico County police arrested three University of Richmond students, charging each with a Class I misdemeanor for trespassing. The three students were released on personal recognizance with bond set at $1,000 each, and a court date set for the next morning. The "Don't ask, don't tell" policy lasted until September 20, 2011, by which point an estimated 13,500+ troops had been discharged from the military.
