Rainbow Roots: Trans Temporal: Examining Gender Diversity and Trans Identities in the Archives
Join the San Antonio Public Library and learn more about our city’s colorful past. Melissa Gohlke, Assistant Archivist at UTSA, and a scholar of San Antonio’s LGBTQIA+ history. In an era of open and often contentious discussion about Transgender lives and issues, an assessment of the history of gender divergence and diversity has value as we interpret current notions of Trans identities and struggles within contemporary society. This presentation explores that history through archival images and materials that convey the rich contributions transgender individuals have made to the cultural tapestry of the Alamo city.
