The Atlanta Lesbian Feminist Alliance (ALFA) held its first official meeting 50 years ago on June 23, 1972. ALFA was the first out lesbian organization in Georgia and was formed by a group of lesbian and feminist sisters who had been activists in a multitude of movements of the time, including those for Civil Rights/Black Empowerment, Women’s Liberation, anti-war/anti-imperialist, and workers’ rights/socialist/anti-capitalist. Lesbian & Gay* Liberation joined these movements. ALFA was a combination social and political organization which held, and valued, women-only space. Over the years many other lesbian groups and organizations found their roots in ALFA and the lesbian network she created. We celebrate her history as part of queer history and the ongoing struggle for human rights in our world.
 

Today, the Georgia State University Library Special Collections & Archives holds the collection for ALFA and is proud to host this 50th anniversary celebration.
