Vander von Odd Instagram – Ernestine Eckstein (1941-1992) was a black lesbian and trail blazing activist who helped steer the Lesbian and Gay Rights movement in the United Stated during the 1960’s. Ernestine was often times the only woman, and especially the only black woman, picketing on the frontlines of the LGBTQIA civil right movement in this pre-Stonewall era. In the 70’s she became involved with the black feminist movement where her progressive values were very much ahead of her time. I encourage you to look up the only existing, in depth interview with Eckstein feature in The Ladder: A Lesbian Review. #BLM #blacklivesmatter #ernestineeckstein | Posted on 08/Jun/2020 08:00:16
