Megan Rohrer Speaks in New York

I will be speaking at a panel for the winners of Out History's Since Stonewall Local Histories Contest on October 22nd 6-8pm at the Graduate Center, City University of New York. My online exhibit, Man-i-fest: FTM Mentorship in San Francisco from 1976-2009, won the competition. A physical version of the exhibit has been on display at the GLBT Historical Society since April, but will come down today.

The inspiration for this exhibit came while I was co-editing Letters For My Brothers: Transitional Wisdom in Retrospect with Zander Keig. Highlighting the power of letters in FTM mentoring, in the exhibit you can see the original letters Lou Sullivan wrote to an individual named David. Two of these letters are also published in Letters For My Brothers.
