Rex, graduated at the age of 16 valedictorian of his class at Kemper Military School. He then attended Oklahoma State University obtaining his Bachelor's Degree in architecture. His education continued at MIT where he obtained a Master of Architecture degree. He served two terms on the University of Oklahoma's Board of Visitors for the College of Architecture (regional and city planning, landscape architecture, construction management). His artwork is in the permanent collections of his alma maters, OSU and MIT. Rex was married to Margie Crowley Ball in 1960, with whom he shared many good times, many laughs, and four wonderful daughters. The couple began their married life in Oklahoma City where he began his career following in his father's footsteps at HTB, Inc. an international architecture-engineering-planning firm. They then moved to Tulsa where he founded the Tulsa branch in 1962. In 1976 Rex became a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects, one of the youngest up to that time to have earned the Institute's highest honor. Marge and Rex's union ended in 1983, but they remained close friends until his death. Rex met Stephen Edwards in Oklahoma City in 1984. The same day they formed an inexplicable connection, a beautiful relationship that has endured for 26 years. Their connection was so complete that they finished each other's sentences and heard each other's thoughts. Through their bond, Rex gained a 5th wonderful daughter. Rex and Stephen have traveled the world sharing their love of architecture, interior design, and their zest for life. On the 24th day of October 2008 they were finally able to legally marry in Palm Springs. Mr. Ball has uniquely served as President of the local AIA Chapters in both Tulsa and Oklahoma City, as well as the State Council. He is a registered planner by the American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP). He has served on the Board of Directors of both Tulsa and Oklahoma City Chambers of Commerce. Within the U.S. Mr. Ball has involved himself directly in a number of award-winning designs which utilized the public/private partnership concept: the National Press Building in Washington, D.C. with the Pennsylvania Avenue Development Corporation, One Bell Central in Oklahoma City, the ingenious Mid-Continent Tower in Tulsa, and the Tulsa Community College conversion of the Sinclair Building and Central High School Shops. All of these illustratively incorporate the design values of accessibility and people-orientation that are Ball's trademarks. Mr. Ball's intense interest in our Nation's urban areas found expression through personal participation on committees in Tulsa and on similar committees within the National Trust for Historic Preservation/Preservation Oklahoma, the American Consulting Engineers council, the U.S. Jaycees, The American Institute of Architects (AIA) national component and local chapters, and the Society of American Military Engineers of which he was a sustaining member.

His honors include the Governor's Business in the Arts Award, the Curt Schwartz Business in the Arts Award, and the Gannet Foundation's Five Who Care Humanitarian Award for long-standing commitment to economic development, education, cultural enrichment as well as efforts to help the handicapped and the needy.

The Beatles were soon to give the Eighth Day new significance with their "Eight Days a Week." Paul S's Glory Hole, with Its balcony and the whole works, was the first of 13 he would have in Tulsa. ihe straights ·had no Idea what a glory hole was, but newly arriving gays knew Instantly. Bob White had the Eighth Day and Gala at the time, but Fran and Jodie soon would take over. Fran, a former lady wrestler, had no trouble keeping the peace, although some of the pieces did get out of hand once in a while. Those were the days when the bars were mixed - girls and guys. I could be more specific by saying dikes and queens. The best fights were always by the dikes. Shirley P. always used part of her Indian money on her birthday to throw a big party at the Gala. And those were the days when you always knew when it was about time to leave. Fran or Jodie would yell out, "Hotel, motel time." C.J., Pe�gy's other half, put It a little differently. The Chicken C oop, still. open on Third Street, was an after-hours eating place for a lot of us. preceding Baker's by a few years.· And C.J. would regularly solicit business by yelling out, "Who's going to the Chicken Shit?" C.J., now deceased, was about as butch as they came, even sprouting a mustache once. Oh yes. she worked as a truck · driver. And Peggy was as pretty a femme as you ever would see. The Doghouse was on the corner of Seventh and Boulder, preceding the now-closed Holiday Inn by a few years. And If one of you was having a lovers' quarrel, it was a good place to wind up - In the Doghouse, get. It's main decoration was a huge reprint of the famous painting of dogs of all breeds having a poker game. Mt, ,The Taj Mahal, which later l�ould be across the street In the middle of the same block, was not even a dream yet. Norma would bring it along In a few years, first as the Adams Hotel bar, and then Its more famous site on Seventh Street. CH The Zebra Lounge, around the corner on Main Street, was a ·straight place. First "Bob" and then BIii Oliver would change that a few years later. Getting back to Norma, some of the best bar stories ever came out of the Taj when she first opened it. Totally serious, she told the story of how some of her lady friends saw her downtow n shopping and said they Just couldn't believe she was running a gay bar, to which she replied, ''Of course I am....All of my customers are happy." The next two I heard myself, A young man with a University of Hawaii T-shirt, and obviously the timid type, walked In one afternoon during happy hour and sat at a table next to me. Norma came over to wait on him, and he looked up before ordering and asked, "Ma'am, Is It safe for queens in here?" Norma replied, "My Lord, yes, honey chlle, they have those In England. We don't have them In this country." He got up and ran. Shortly after the Holiday Inn was opened across the street, a man who obviously had looked out the window and saw the bar, walked over.

The Beatles were soon to give the Eighth Day new significance with their "Eight Days a Week." Paul S's Glory Hole, with Its balcony and the whole works, was the first of 13 he would have in Tulsa. ihe straights ·had no Idea what a glory hole was, but newly arriving gays knew Instantly. Bob White had the Eighth Day and Gala at the time, but Fran and Jodie soon would take over. Fran, a former lady wrestler, had no trouble keeping the peace, although some of the pieces did get out of hand once in a while. Those were the days when the bars were mixed - girls and guys. I could be more specific by saying dikes and queens. The best fights were always by the dikes. Shirley P. always used part of her Indian money on her birthday to throw a big party at the Gala. And those were the days when you always knew when it was about time to leave. Fran or Jodie would yell out, "Hotel, motel time." C.J., Pe�gy's other half, put little differently. The Chicken C oop, still. open on Third Street, was an after-hours eating place BY DICK SUAGEE for a lot of us. preceding Baker's by a few years.· And C.J. would regularly solicit business by yelling out, "Who's going to the Chicken Shit?" C.J., now deceased, was about as butch as they came, even sprouting a mustache once. Oh yes. she worked as a truck · driver. And Peggy was as pretty a femme as you ever would see. The Doghouse was on the corner of Seventh and Boulder, preceding the now-closed Holiday Inn by a few years. And If one of you was having a lovers' quarrel, it was a good place to wind up - In the Doghouse, get. It's main decoration was a huge reprint of the famous painting of dogs of all breeds having a poker game. Mt,CH,The Taj Mahal, which later l�ould be across the street In the middle of the same block, was not even a dream yet. Norma would bring it along In a few years, first as the Adams Hotel bar, and then Its more famous site on Seventh Street. The Zebra Lounge, around the corner on Main Street, was a ·straight place. First "Bob" and then BIii Oliver would change that a few years later. Getting back to Norma, some of the best bar stories ever came out of the Taj when she first opened it. Totally serious, she told the story of how some of her lady friends saw her downtown shopping and said they Just couldn't believe she was running a gay bar, to which she replied, ''Of course I am....All of my customers are happy." The next t wo I heard myself, A young man with a University of Hawaii T-shirt, and obviously the timid type, walked In one afternoon during happy hour and sat at a table next to me. Norma came over to wait on him, and he looked up before ordering and asked, "Ma'am, Is It safe for queens in here?" Norma replied, "My Lord, yes, honey chlle, they have those In England. We don't have them In this country." He got up and ran. Shortly after the Holiday Inn was opened across the street, a man who obviously had looked out the window and saw the bar, walked over. Janie, one of Norma's longtime friends, was working happy hour that afternoon•. Janie is about 4-foot-9, if she's that tall, and on the buxom side. The visitor from across the street observed what was going on for a few minutes, and· to an outsider, some of It could have been pretty shocking, and then stood up.

Title A name given to the resource [2019] Gala Lynn Riggs Video Subject The topic of the resource Lynn Riggs (1899-1954), Oklahoma's Own Playwright and Poet, namesake for the Lynn Riggs Black Box Theatre at the Dennis R. Neill Equality Center operated by Oklahomans for Equality. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Oklahomans for Equality Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource April 27, 2019 Description An account of the resource Lynn Riggs, Oklahoma's premier playwright, wrote most of his 25 full-length plays about his home state - stories of the people he knew in this childhood as they struggled to create new lives in a changing culture . Son of a part-Cherokee mother and pioneer father in Claremore , Lynn wished to introduce the public t the diverse people of the Plains Many of Riggs' early poems, The Iron Dish 1930, evoked the ambiance of Santa Fe, his favorite city. Later, more personal poems, This Book, This Hill, These People, 1982, often reflected a Native American view of life. His interests were in singing, playing guitar, and acting. After high school, as a young man with identity issues, Riggs signed on as a cattle puncher on a train bound for Chicago. then went to New York , where he played an extra in some early cowboy movies being filmed in the Bronx. By 1920, he was in Hollywood, working as a film extra. Between film jobs, as he read proof for the Los Angeles Times, a disaster brought him a windfall . In 1928, Riggs' talents earned him a Guggenheim Fellowship to work for a year in Franc e. It freed him from money worries and gave him peace to write his most famous play, Green Grow the Lilacs. The Theatre Guild produced it on Broadway in 1931, featur­ing many of the old folk songs from Lynn's childhood that he loved. The same group revived it on Broadway in 1943, substituting contemporary music by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein and the new title, Oklahoma!. It broke all records and continues to be produced across the U.S. and around the world. He continued to write all his years, and to encourage aspiring writers. He supported amateur theatre groups wherever he could believing that they would shape the future of American theatre . He died of lung cancer in New York in 1954. -By Phyllis Cole Braunl ich, author of Haunted by Home: The life and letters of Lynn Riggs, 1988, and "R.

Rene Potter, our dear friend from Tucson, coming to join us and provide this wonderful entertainment. For 27 years, OkEq has been here, working for equality, being a community supporter, providing outreach and services. For an organization which has grown from an annual budget of a few thousand dollars to one with a budget of a few hundred thousand dollars, one constant has been there, an absolute reliance on dedicated volunteers and board and recently a few loyal staff who work day m and day out for our important mission. I can only accept this very gracious gesture of OkEq by recognizing that every step ofthe way, what we have done has been a team effort sharing in our successes and dealing with our losses. We could not have done our important work without our allies and friends in the community. And the partners who provide the support throughout the ups and downs. Thank you John. We now have a center the entire community can be proud of. This new home is here today and will be �here tomorrow. And for tomorrow’s generation. Most importantly, programs and services are offered to address a great need in education, advocacy and support. Services and space together imder one roof means that OkEq provides a beacon of acceptance in a nation, state and city which have yet to fully deal with their past and current biases. Without us, fighting on the frontier, where we would be? Where would the next generation find the voice for what is right? We should all have a renewed sense of hope for equality because ofrecent developments to which mmiy in this room have contributed and to which all of us support. Let us continue our efforts, together Thank you so much,I will never forget the true meaning ofthis night-teamwork for equality! � Still Image A static visual representation.

Neill Equality Center. Serving LGBT Oklahomans and their allies since 1980, it is the oldest continuously operating LGBT advocacy organization in America’s heartland. The Dennis R. Neill Equality Center, our headquarters is located at the corner of 4th and Kenosha in downtown Tulsa, Oklahoma in the vibrant east village and actively involved in the revitalization of the urban core of Tulsa County. The Equality Center has been recognized by the National Preservation Historic Trust as an excellent example of repurposing a historic structure. Originally a 1920’s oil refinery office with 18,000 square feet was purchased and renovated in 2005. It now serves as the epicenter of the vibrant LGBT community in Northeastern Oklahoma. In June 2009 the Equality Center was featured on the Preservation Trust website “This Place Matters”. From the earliest days of the founding of our organization, advocacy on behalf of the gay community has been front and center. We have found that speaking up for ourselves is the most effective route in addressing discrimination. Working closely with local and state legislative bodies and familiarizing elected officials about our issues is a continuous effort. Small businesses and larger companies and corporations can benefit from our diversity in the work place workshops. Occasionally, a confrontational response is required when an individual targets our community with hate speech. Our opponents have learned we will not be silent when persecuted. Most of the time, when insensitive comments are made towards a certain segment of a community it comes from a lack of education. We offer a speaker’s bureau that in 2009 spoke on 9 college campuses and 3 high schools and even a federal agency. We maintain an exhaustive lending library that is heavily utilized by our members and visitors to the Equality Center. Archiving our story in Oklahoma is critically important so we established the history project where hundreds of memorabilia, stories, and documented events are cataloged and added monthly to the substantial collection. Throughout the calendar year we have lectures that feature some of the top experts in LGBTQ studies. Our goal for our membership is to equip them to be the best citizens in our community. Oklahomans for Equality has created 38 different weekly programs that serve the needs of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community. Grief recovery, mental health support, legal clinics, children’s events for those raising a family, health and fitness activities to help us comply with Oklahoma’s new vision for a healthier state are just few of those programs. Each program is volunteer led by trained and certified professionals. In 2009 Oklahomans for Equality partnered with 13 area non profits in special events or projects that served Tulsans. We have turned into the anchor city for the heartland region �in LGBTQ advocacy work. Visitors from bordering states come to study how we have created an effective outreach in one of the most conservative sections of the country. In 2009 14 cities sent teams to visit the Equality Center � Still Image A static visual representation. Examples include paintings, drawings, graphic designs, plans and maps.

TOHR was founded in 1980 by a small group of people concerned about human rights and equality for GLBT persons in Tulsa, including Dennis Neill, Bob Inglish, Mike Green and Gary Durst. The Tulsa organization was originally a part of the Oklahoma City-based chapter. The organization was then known as Oklahomans for Human Rights (OHR). In 1985, as the Oklahoma City organization declined in activity, the Tulsa Chapter decided to form its own non-profit organization to be called the Tulsa Oklahomans for Human Rights (TOHR). During that year, TOHR was incorporated to pursue its new mission of serving the residents of Tulsa and northeastern Oklahoma. Soon after its establishment, TOHR launched the Gay Information Line, or 743GAYS, which has been in operation ever since. For the first several months, the call volume was extremely high as several religious groups worked to overwhelm the line with harassing phone calls. The volunteers, however, persevered and the harassing calls slowly declined. Since it’s beginning, the Gay Information Line has been a critical link for many people needing help and support on GLBT and health issues. During its first year, TOHR also conducted voter registration and political surveys, sponsored a softball team and tournament, and conducted health clinics (venereal diseases were rampant in the gay community before AIDS.) In the 1980s, TOHR sponsored several high-profile social events for the GLBT community; provided a speaker’s bureau to help educate the community; launched the first gay pride picnic; and operated the popular Southwest Invitational, a sports event that attracted participants from across the nation. The organization’s monthly membership meetings routinely attracted from 50 to 150 participants as the community saw TOHR as the principal source of information and support. During this time, nationally known GLBT spokespersons who came to Tulsa at TOHR’S invitation included LGTF activists Virginia Apuzzo; Valerie Torino, Mayor of West Hollywood, Calif.; Troy Perry, founder of MCC; Lt. Leonard Matlovich, and others. The organization’s work in the community was awarded with two operating grants from the Chicago Resource Center, the first time an Oklahoma GLBT organization received out-of-state funding and recognition. With the advent of HIV and AIDS in the 1980s, TOHR sent a medical professional to health conferences to advise the community on the transmission of the virus and other dangers. In addition, TOHR opened the first anonymous testing site in northeastern Oklahoma. The organization was responsible for acquiring state funding for �AIDS testing and education by establishing the Tulsa Chapter of the AIDS Support Program, or ASP. This effort was later assumed by another organization, known as HOPE (HIV Outreach, Prevention, and Education). In 1998, HOPE spun off from TOHR so both organizations could focus on their respective missions. Today, HOPE operates a testing and counseling site a 3503 East Admiral Place in Tulsa. TOHR opened Tulsa’s first Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgendered Community Center in October 1996 at 1338 East 38th Street in the Brookside neighborhood of Tulsa. The center quickly became a popular meeting spot for community groups, support groups, and those who wished to network with other members of the GLBT community. The center began to operate a book and video library, referral service, and pride retail store. TOHR organized Tulsa’s first gay pride march in 1997 with 60 participants. In 1998, the event grew to include approximately 150 marchers. In 1998, the march grew into a parade. Tulsa’s first Diversity Parade was held in 1999 on Peoria Avenue in the Brookside neighborhood of Tulsa and featured Rep. Barney Frank, D-Massachusetts, as its first Grand Marshal. The parade culminated with the Diversity Festival at Tulsa’s Veteran’s Park. Both events drew large crowds and proved very successful, beginning a new tradition for Tulsa’s GLBT community. In 2000, TOHR received grants from the Collins Higgins Foundation and Gill Foundation of Denver, Colo., for expanding programs and operating support. Also, in 2000, TOHR was selected as a 2001 host site for the OutGiving InCommunity Project of the Gill Foundation. More than 25 local organizations (over half were non-GLBT groups) participated in the project held at the Community Center. This was considered an honor for TOHR to be selected as a national host site. Finally, in 2000, TOHR launched its first-ever capital fundraising campaign, the Pyramid Project. The goal of this major capital campaign is to raise a total of $1 million for a permanent and visible home for the Tulsa GLBT Community Center. Of the goal, $500,000 will be utilized to acquire a permanent facility for the center, and $500,000 will fund an endowment to sustain operation of the facility for future generations. In 2001, TOHR was selected to be one of three “Fast Track” programs in the nation by the Gill Foundation. Through this program, the Gill Foundation provides $40,000 of operating support over three years ($15,000 in 2001; $15,000 in 2002; and $10,000 in 2003). The intent of the operating grants is to help sustain the organization’s operating fund during the capital campaign. In addition, the Gill Foundation has provided TOHR technical assistance during the campaign. TOHR was selected by the Gill Foundation based on the quality and reputation of the organization, and the potential for Tulsa to become a more positive environment for members of its GLBT community. �Presently, TOHR is developing an annual operating plan for 2003 and a set of long-range goals to guide the organization through 2006. The organization also is preparing to move its capital campaign into the middle phase by seeking major corporate and foundation support. TOHR also has completed a major revision of its bylaws, taking the organization from an association to a corporate model. In addition, major restructuring of the organization will take TOHR to new heights in 2003 and beyond! � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
