Jewish American Heritage Month

Posted By admin on May 30, 2024

The St. Louis Jewish Light is proud to announce the continuation of our partnership with the JWA. Together, we will bring many parts of the JWA collection to St. Louis readers, as well as promote the Can We Talk? podcast by sharing both current and past relevant episodes each week.

Dr. Mollie Wallick didnt set out to be a gay rights activist; she stumbled into the role in 1983, when she was a guidance counselor at Louisiana State Universitys medical school in New Orleans. In this episode ofCan We Talk?, youll hear excerpts from Mollies 2005 interview for the Women Who Dared oral history project. As we kick off Pride Month, Mollies story reminds us how much has changed in just a few decadeslanguage, attitudes, and policies. And it offers a glimpse of what it was like to be an advocate for gay students at a time when their school, and society in general, offered few resources and many obstacles.
