Historical Note
The Whitman College LGBTQ+ Oral History Project, hosted by the Whitman College and Northwest Archives and supported by the Whitman History Department, was created in 2019 in order to document and preserve the story of Whitman’s enduring LGBTQ+ group PRISM, previously known as the GLA, GLBA and GLBTQ, and as the alternative activist group, Coalition Against Homophobia. Due to the confidential and off-campus nature of GLBTQ, there is very little record of LGBTQ+ life and activism work on campus. This project aims to address this incomplete history by conducting oral history interviews with alumni as well as former staff and faculty who were involved in the various iterations of the group.
