Outright L/A Oral History Project Video up on Youtube!
For the last year Outright L/A has been working with talented Lewiston video-maker Craig Saddlemire of Round Point Movies to create a video documenting the history of the organization. The video includes interviews with current and former young people in the outright program from the last fifteen years as well as volunteer advisors, staff, founding members, local drag queens, and community activists. The thirteen-minute video provides a context for LGBTQ activism in Lewiston/Auburn from the seventies to present day and shows how Outright L/A has grown from a small program operating out of a box in the basement of the YWCA to multifaceted program that has outlived all other Outright programs in the state.
This oral history video project was made possible by a grant from The Harward Center for Community Partnerships at Bates College’s Carignan Fund for Community Programs. Plans for a screening and discussion are in the works!
