A Conversation with Billie Jean King- Part of an LGBTQ@VCU Events Series

Thursday, October 27th 2016, at 6pm, at VCU’s Seigel Center (1200 West Broad Street, Richmond VA), Billie Jean King, the celebrated tennis star, feminist, and LGBTQ rights advocate, will speak.

From the event description: “King was outed in 1981 and lost all of her endorsements and sponsorships overnight. Over her career she has been a tireless advocate for LGBTQ people as well as for women in sports and society. King has created new inroads for women and LGBTQ people in and out of sports throughout her legendary career, and she continues to make her mark today as her enduring accomplishments reverberate far beyond the tennis courts."

 This event is part of the series "LGBTQ@VCU: Celebrating Forty Years of LGBTQ Activism at VCU.” You can see the other events here: http://humanitiescenter.vcu.edu/lgbtq-activism.
