In the early 1990s, concerned staff, faculty and student activists sought to establish a Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Resource Center at UC San Diego. In 1999, UC San Diego finally opened the LGBT Resource Office—the last campus to do so in the UC system.

Distinguished civil rights activist Myrlie Evers-Williams spoke to students and community members April 9 at Price Center West on the topic of “Tomorrow’s Leaders: Building on the Legacy of Selma.” The event was co-sponsored by Thurgood Marshall College, Helen Edison Lecture Series and the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion. Evers-Williams became a prominent social justice activist after the murder of her husband, civil rights activist Medger Evers, and was the first full-time female director to lead the NAACP. For more than three decades, she has worked to change the face of race relations and has become a symbol of courage and perseverance. Images by Erik Jepsen/UC San Diego Publications
