MSDC – Charles Francis

The short film The Acknowledgement explores the work of the Mattachine Society of Washington D.C. and asserts that the time has now come to acknowledge and apologize for the mistreatment of, and discrimination against, LGBT Americans.

The Mattachine Society of Washington, D.C. conducts archive activism–identifying, conserving and interpreting the LGBTQ historical record. The MSDC is organized and approved for charitable and educational purposes as a 501(c)(3) of the IRS code, and is incorporated as a non-profit corporation in the District of Columbia.
