Lehigh Valley Citizens Concerned for a Better Community (CCBC) records - 1977 to 1978
Date:
1977 to 1978
This collection documents the earliest known organizational history of the LGBTQ+ community in Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley region. Lehigh Valley Citizens Concerned for a Better Community (CCBC, later Lehigh Valley Citizens Concerned for the Gay Community, CCGC) was formed in 1977. This group was named in response to an anti-gay group called Citizens Organized for Decency, and was formed to advocate for the addition of the words “sexual and affectional preferences” to the protective clauses of the Human Relations Ordinance in Allentown, PA. Materials include newsletters, meeting minutes, press releases, and promotional materials.
The items in this collection are shared through a collaboration between the Lehigh Valley LGBT Community Archive and the LGBT Center of Central PA History Project.

Materials include newsletters, meeting minutes, press releases, and promotional materials. View the collection on the Internet Archive.
