About
The DC Intersectional Activist Oral History Project, DCIAOHP, seeks to preserve and disseminate oral histories of activists who identify as queer and feminist and who engaged in antiracist, antipoverty, human rights, trans and intersex rights, or disability rights work in the DC area between 1990-2005. Rather than telling the story of a particular event or movement, the interviews in this project describe the development of the desire for social justice and of theories and strategies throughout activists’ lives. These activist narratives can be incredibly inspirational and useful for young activists, as they share influences, strategies, ideas, and experiences of real people engaged in the work of social change.
