"Honoring Our Queer Elders is a curated exhibition of legacy videos comprised of oral histories from a diverse group of LGBTQIA+ elders living in the Bay Area, including San Francisco Bay Times columnist Dr. Marcy Adelman and former Bay Times columnist Kathleen Archambeau, as well as Pam David and former State Senator Mark Leno, who have contributed to the paper."
"Each video featured in Honoring Our Queer Elders, distilled from about 12 hours of total footage, consists of in-depth interviews conducted by USF undergraduate students who were enrolled in a groundbreaking community-engaged learning Jewish studies course taught by the first Rabbi-in-Residence in school history, Camille Shira Angel. These autobiographical, narrative-based interviews are a reservoir of information, wisdom, and encouragement for students and leaders, historians and activists."
"As these elders have been in San Francisco for decades, they are living sources of invaluable history. About Mapping Jewish SF Mapping Jewish San Francisco is a digital humanities project of USF's Swig Program in Jewish Studies and Social Justice."
