Rainbow Cafe features guest speaker: Sarah Boyer - June 24 at 2 PM

Hello All,

I hope that you can join us at our next Rainbow Cafe on Tuesday June 24th at 2 PM.  I am very excited to share that Sarah Boyer will be joining us as a guest speaker!

Sarah is an oral historian and published author who was inspired to record the extraordinary stories of "Ordinary" folks to ensure their voices are heard and their lives celebrated.  In 2015, Lois Johnson, President of Boston Daughters of Bilitis (DOB) invited oral historian Sarah Boyer to help interview former DOB members.

Together they interviewed 21 lesbians who were part of the emerging gay and liberation movement.  Johnson, who died in 2020, wanted a book on the history of the Boston-Cambridge DOB.  "Coming Out, Becoming Ourselves" Lesbian Stories from the Boston Daughters of Bilitis 1969-1999, is that book and ensures these stories of courage and love become a part of the historical record.  

Please share this invite with others who would be interested in attending.  All folks in the LGBTQIA+ community are welcome.

Thank you,

Ariel
