2008 Art and Change Grant – $2,500

Kathy will complete pre-production and trailer for a documentary on the historical transgender sit-in that took place in 1965 at Dewey's lunch counter in Philadelphia. The documentary will provide a jumping off point to explore transgender people of the time period, including employment, housing, neighborhoods, social supports and the often-difficult relationships between health care providers and transgender people. The project will use interviews with participants and contemporaries, archival records, and video news archives to preserve the fast disappearing history of the transgender/gender variant people from this time period and reinforce their relevance to the movement for LGBT equality.
