GLBTIC Quarterly Webinar: "Activism: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow"

Thank you

This live web event has ended. Thank you for attending.

Description

Lee Gaddies has been an activist his entire life from facing Neo-Nazism in high school to being denied a small business loan to watching neighbors houses torn down by banks. The fight not to be marginalized is a passion. Some of Lee’s more notable efforts include fighting for transit dollars by meeting with Congressional representatives and senators (PBS documentary); demanding housing justice for brown and black families in Detroit (CNN news), and holding elected officials accountable by every means possible. Activism requires action.

Professionally, Lee is a graduate of the Center for Creative Studies for design, a Michigan State Fellow for Urban Planning and a small business owner, Gaddis Gaming, the only black manufacturing company of tabletop miniature games.
