6 boxes

Scope and content:

Founded in 1988, the National Black Lesbian and Gay Leadership Forum (NBLGLF) worked to empower black lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, and transgender people by developing their leadership skills, increasing visibility, and bringing communities together. The organization disbanded in 2003. While on staff at the HRC, Carter worked in conjunction with the NBLGLF on joint projects, such as the People of Color Summit and A National Call to Resist: Countering the Radical Right in Our Black Community. Carter also worked as National Field Director of the NBLGLF from March 1997 to March 1998 and as Field Program Consultant from August 1998 to December 1998.

Includes research files, primarily clippings, on the radical right; articles about or written by Carter; work plans and budgets for the National Field Program, including work plans for specific cities (Denver, Washington, D.C., Charlotte); communications, including emails, faxes, and letters; mailings and materials for the Board of Directors; speeches; meeting notes; contracts and files related to fundraising, budgets, and donors; and records related to the annual conference.

Materials related to joint projects by the HRC and NBLGLF can be found in both subseries. People of Color Summit materials in this subseries include registration forms, materials for summit packets, clippings, press releases, and meeting notes.
