Bruce McKinney and Kansas activists recount Wichita’s 1970s bid to pass a civil rights ordinance for gays and lesbians, its repeal in 1978, and the lasting impact on the community. An oral history project plans online access via KU Scholar Works, recording testimonies from ages three to adults and aiming to save lives through shared stories.
