Taking inspiration from the civil rights and anti-Vietnam War movements, Kuhn and her cohorts created an activist organization that quickly gained momentum as the Gray Panthers. After receiving national publicity for her efforts-she even appeared on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson-she gained thousands of supporters, young and old. Their cause expanded to include universal health care, nursing home reform, affordable and accessible housing, defense of Social Security, and elimination of nuclear weapons. Gray Panthers traces the roots of Maggie Kuhn's social justice agenda to her years as a YWCA and Presbyterian Church staff member. It tells the nearly forty-year story of the intergenerational grassroots movement that Kuhn founded and its scores of local groups. During the 1980's, more than one hundred chapters were tackling local and national issues. By the 1990's the ranks of older members were thinning and most young members had departed, many to pursue careers in public service. But despite its challenges, including Kuhn's death in 1995, the movement continues today. Roger Sanjek examines Gray Panther activism over four decades. Here the inner workings and dynamics of the movement emerge: the development of network leadership, local projects and tactics, conflict with the national office, and the intergenerational political ties that made the group unique among contemporary activist groups. Part ethnography, part history, part memoir, Gray Panthers draws on archives and interviews as well as the author's thirty years of personal involvement. With the impending retirement of the baby boomers, Sanjek's book will surely inform the debates and discussions to follow: on retirement, health care, and many other aspects of aging in a society that has long valued youth above all. 606 $aOlder people$zUnited States 606 $aAgeism$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aOlder people 615 0$aAgeism 676 $a305.260973 700 $aSanjek$b Roger$f1944-$01048448 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452385503321 996 $aGray Panthers$92476746 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04829nam 22009615 450 001 9910781476403321 005 20230725050810.0 010 $a1-283-27841-3 010 $a9786613278418 010 $a0-520-95015-1 024 7 $a10.1525/9780520950153 035 $a(CKB)2550000000040776 035 $a(EBL)740306 035 $a(OCoLC)745865838 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000538099 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11340586 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000538099 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10556908 035 $a(PQKB)10731941 035 $a(DE-B1597)520416 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780520950153 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC740306 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000000040776 100 $a20200424h20112011 fg 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||#|||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aInvisible Families $eGay Identities, Relationships, and Motherhood among Black Women /$fMignon Moore 210 1$aBerkeley, CA :$cUniversity of California Press,$d[2011] 210 4$dİ2011 215 $a1 online resource (322 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-520-26951-9 327 $tFront matter --$tContents --$tAcknowledgments --$tIntroduction: Two Sides of the Same Coin: Revising Analyses of Lesbian Sexuality and Family Formation through the Study of Black Women --$t1.

Moore brings to light the family life of a group that has been largely invisible-gay women of color-in a book that challenges long-standing ideas about racial identity, family formation, and motherhood. Drawing from interviews and surveys of one hundred black gay women in New York City, Invisible Families explores the ways that race and class have influenced how these women understand their sexual orientation, find partners, and form families. In particular, the study looks at the ways in which the past experiences of women who came of age in the 1960's and 1970's shape their thinking, and have structured their lives in communities that are not always accepting of their openly gay status. Overturning generalizations about lesbian families derived largely from research focused on white, middle-class feminists, Invisible Families reveals experiences within black American and Caribbean communities as it asks how people with multiple stigmatized identities imagine and construct an individual and collective sense of self. 606 $aAfrican American lesbians$xIdentity$zUnited States 606 $aAfrican American lesbians$zUnited States 606 $aSame-sex marriage 606 $aGay rights 606 $aPuerto Rican lesbians 610 $abildungsroman. 610 $ablack american communities. 610 $acaribbean communities. 610 $acoming of age. 610 $acoming out. 610 $aempowering women. 610 $afamily studies. 610 $afamily. 610 $afeminism novels. 610 $afeminist movement. 610 $agay studies. 610 $agay women. 610 $agender and sexuality. 610 $agender studies. 610 $ainspiring stories. 610 $algbt community. 610 $algbt studies. 610 $algbtq. 610 $aovercoming adversity. 610 $aovercoming racism. 610 $arace class gender studies. 610 $aracial identity. 610 $asexual orientation. 610 $asocial identity. 610 $asociology of marriage and family. 610 $astories about minorities. 610 $astories of motherhood. 610 $awomen of color. 615 0$aAfrican American lesbians$xIdentity 615 0$aAfrican American lesbians 615 0$aSame-sex marriage 615 0$aGay rights 615 0$aPuerto Rican lesbians 676 $a306.84/80899607307471 700 $aMoore$b Mignon$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01567413 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781476403321 996 $aInvisible Families$93838825 997 $aUNINA
