Today, the organization supports almost forty clubs throughout Florida and has been affiliated with the National Federation of Democratic Women (NFDW) since 1980. Florida is recognized as a Full Member State under the NFDW because it has a statewide Democratic Women's club organization; however, the NFDW does not directly influence the DWCF in its operations.","\nThe DWCF has a Board of Directors consisting of a president, secretary, treasurer, and supporting officers overseeing nine regions. These regions have changed in number and composition over time, but they are led by Councils consisting of a Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary/Treasurer and Immediate Past Chair. These regional councils support the local clubs who campaign for Democratic representatives at all levels of government and encourage voter registration and qualified Democratic women to run for public office. The Clubs elect their own president, secretary, treasurer, and supporting officers.","Collecton processed by Heather K. Black, Suphi Burak Ogreten, and John Settle; finding aid prepared by Heather K.

She graduated from Dillard High School at just 14 years old and, at 15, entered Fisk University on a Ford Foundation scholarship to study English. Her intellectual journey deepened at Oberlin College, where exposure to courses on the African diaspora inspired her to change her major to Sociology-Anthropology, earning her bachelor's degree in 1957.","Gloria enrolled at Columbia University in New York, where she pursued graduate studies in Anthropology. She earned both her Master's (1959) and Ph.D. degrees in (1964), becoming the first African American woman to teach at Columbia University. Following the completion of her doctorate, Dr. Sudarkasa was appointed assistant professor of anthropology at New York University (1970-1976), again marking a historic first for an African American woman. ","Gloria Albertha Marshall adopted the name Niara Sudarkasa to reflect her evolving identity as a cultural bridge between African Americans and continental Africans. Her name change marked a deepening commitment to diasporic connection and cultural reclamation.\nAt the University of Michigan, Dr. Sudarkasa continued to break barriers, becoming the first African American faculty member in the Department of Anthropology. From 1978 to 1981, she served as Associate Director of the Center for Afro-American and African Studies, advancing scholarship and institutional support for African diaspora research.","In 1986, she became the first female president of Lincoln University in Pennsylvania, a role she held until 1998. Her scholarship increasingly centered on the lives of women in West Africa and the enduring strength of the Black family. Her work in Nigeria earned her recognition from the royal court: in 2001, His Royal Majesty Aláyélúwà Ọba Ọkúnadé Sijuwade Olúbùsẹ II of the Royal Court of Ifẹ́ conferred upon her the chieftaincy title Yèyé Olókun Ìgbàdérò. She was the first African American to receive this honor from the Ifẹ́ Kingdom.","Following her retirement from higher education, Dr. Sudarkasa returned to her hometown of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where she became the first scholar-in-residence at the newly opened African American Research Library and Cultural Center in 2002.\nDr. Sudarkasa was married to John L. Clark and was the mother of Michael Sudarkasa. She passed away on May 31, 2019, at the age of 80, leaving behind a legacy of scholarship, leadership, and cultural stewardship.","The Niara Sudarkasa Collection received container level processing. This finding aid may be updated to reflect new descriptions as well as acquisitions to the collection. ","Parts of the collection have received file level processing. From January 2022 to May 2024, FIU interns, Emmanuel George, and Dominique St. Victor processed \"Series I. Correspondence\" and \"Series III. Professional Papers, Sub-series 1. Writings by Niara Sudarkasa and Sub-series 2. Writings by Others\" as part of the WPHL-FIU Community Data Curation grant.","The Niara Sudarkasa Collection documents the career of anthropologist, Africanist, professor, and university president Dr. Niara Sudarkasa. The collection contains correspondence, scholarly writings, publications, research files, audio visual materials, awards, and business papers dating from 1934 to 2006. The collection also includes Dr. Sudarka's personal library of more than 2,500 books, journals, and pamphlets. The collection highlights Dr. Sudarkasa's professional achievements including becoming the first woman president of Lincoln University in Pennsylvania and first Black faculty member of the Anthropology Department at the University of Michigan.

Spencer was born in Orlando and grew up in Winter Garden, Florida. He worked at Sand Hill Nursery near Lake Avalon and the Land of Bromeliads in Gotha before finding employment with Julian Nally. After the Nally estate was sold, Spencer worked for Racine Foster at Bromel-La. He graduated from UCF in 1990 summa cum laude with a BA in Liberal Studies and then found employment with Lyman B. Smith at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. Michael Spencer named a genus of bromeliads \"Racinaea\" in honor of Racine Foster. While engaged in his research, Spencer amassed this collection of materials concerning bromeliads and their collectors. He now lives in Frederick, Maryland where he has served on the Historic Preservation Commission since 2004.","Materials were rehoused in pH neutral folders and cartons. Photographs, negatives and slides were enclosed in polyester sleeves. Many of the materials were well organized and the arrangement was retained. The remainder were arranged by following the original arrangement as far as possible. Notes on folders were retained in the new folder. Paper clips were replaced with plastic clips or materials that belonged together were held together in a pH neutral paper sleeve. Loose-leaf notebooks that were badly rusted were discarded and the contents placed in folders. Items loose in the back of notebooks were foldered separately and marked accordingly. Notes from a film canister were written exactly as found as the label could not be removed. Albums falling apart were taken apart and foldered. Albums in reasonable condition had the photographs attached properly with corners and the pages interleaved to prevent sticking. Loose album pages in the Foster subseries on Plant Information were merely foldered as they were not in an album and were found without context.

Subsequentially, she graduated from Miami Central High School, where she was a Silver Knight nominee in music and went on to become a professional musician working her way through school from the age of 18 until 1983, when she completed her PhD from the Union Institute. Following licensure as a psychologist she later became a Fellow and Board Certified, in Clinical Health Psychology, by the American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP). She is a lifetime member of the American Psychological Association (APA), American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS), Internation Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders (IFSO) and holds membership in Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). Melodie also graduated from, Miami Dade Junior College – North Campus, and Florida Atlantic University (FAU), with a double major, completing that coursework in 1971.  ","Before her involvement with Human Rights work, she had many high-profile musical engagements as a drummer and vocalist. She contracted with a show band called Your Father's Mustache and played the \"Washboard\" and other percussion instruments at the age of 18 at the Hilton Plaza, Miami Beach. During her 1968 and 69 engagement there, the space also hosted Jackie Gleason's weekly television show, as well as the Headquarters for Richard Nixon's 1968 National Convention. Nightly, Nixon's staff were in front row attendance for the nightclub show and would send the young Melodie cold milk to the stage as they sent alcoholic beverages to other members of the band. When he won the election, Nixon's head writer invited Melodie to attend the Inaugural Ball, which she attended with her mother, Laura Joyce Gillett Moorehead Williams. Later Melodie, still an undergraduate, received an invitation from President Nixon's staff to transfer to Georgetown University and study law as a proper introduction to Washington politics. She humbly state: \"I want to become a doctor and help people.\"   ","Returning to her intentioned life's mission, she completed the MA degree, in Psychology, from Lone Mountain College  (today, University of San Francisco), in 1977. It was at this period of time she petitioned FAU to confer her undergraduate degree. It had been withheld by the institution due to administrative rules. She won her petition, which helps explains why her MA diploma was conferred a year before her BA. The irony here perhaps was that Dr. Shwartz, who headed the Department of Sociology at FAU, had offered her a full scholarship to the MA program and to a prestigious doctoral program in return for her teaching at FAU for 5 years. Again, she humbly and politely declined. ","Instead, Melodie toured with another musical group, which ultimately led to her coming to terms with her same-sex feelings, which had amounted to a lifetime of tumult. Following her own personal paradigmatic shift and owning her sense of \"gay identity,\" Melodie entered psychotherapy with Dr. Theodore Aidman, the first president and founder of the Dade County Psychological Association (Dr. Aidman ultimately served as mentor throughout Melodie's MA and PhD programs; her MA thesis was based on Dr. Adman's work, \"Transcending One's Self-Fulfilling Prophecy.\"). Melodie soon committed herself to a new career in the field of psychology working within the gay community. ","Dr. Alan Rockway, Mr. Robert \"Bob\" Kunst, and Mr. Bob Basker co-authored the 1976 Miami Gay Rights Ordinance. This Ordinance was repealed through the efforts of Anita Bryant and others the following year.  Before the 1976 Ordinance was repealed and before meeting the authors, Melodie was invited to be interview by Channel 10 News WPLG anchored by Ann Bishop, a popular local journalist. A news crew came to Melodie's Coconut Grove studio apartment, rented monthly for $175.00, to help put a face on what \"Gay\" looked like and to introduce that face to the community. People were expected to soon go to the polls to vote \"For\" or \"Against\" the repeal of the ordinance after the new law was on record for a few months without incident. The news crew stayed inside Melodie's apartment for 4 hours attempting to learn how she felt discriminated against. At the time, she could not come up with a direct sense of discrimination to report. Melodie is first to say, \"I was very naïve.\"","By 1977, Melodie had contributed a chapter in a volume titled Now What? to help parents understand their gay child; Dr. Virginia Pendergrass, a clinical psychologist at FIU, was also among the contributors and she, with the Center for Dialog, often put workshops together where Melodie also presented. ","It was during her Master's level training with the Gestalt Institute of Miami, Dr. Calvin Leonard, then Dean of the University of Miami School of Continuing Education, suggested that she meet directly with Dr. Rockway and Mr. Kunst of the Transperience Center. It was at this meeting when Melodie learned the Transperience Center was only a few doors down from where she lived. The two men began telling her of the $55,000 grant they had written through the federal Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) to fund five positions at the Transperience Center. They asked her to take a position as the Community Outreach Coordinator and Mental Health Counselor for the Transperience Center that they directed. She accepted the position after securing her credentials. The Transperience Center was a community health center for people living in alternative lifestyles. The grant was awarded and, following the repeal of the \"Gay Rights Ordinance,\" the grant was terminated following protests from ultra conservative groups. The trio Moorehead, Rockway, and Kunst then created a new organization, Congress United for Rights and Equality (CURE), and they filed a lawsuit through the Department of Labor for the grant's termination. Going to Federal Court twice without a judge discharging the case, the trio did not have the necessary funds to continue this fight. The gay community, even on the national scale, had not yet mobilized enough to assist. The trio ended up on food stamps for six months and Melodie conducted her last counseling session on the floor of the Transperience Center, as their rented furniture had been repossessed. ","It was during this downtrodden time that Melodie came to better understand  the many faces of discrimination. Kunst even asked Moorehead, \"Do you feel discrimination now?\" She replied \"Yes!,\" and then he asked: \"Are you ready to collect signatures?\" She then committed to collecting 18,000 of the  needed signatures to place an offensive effort to get Human Rights (Gay Rights) on the November 1978 ballot. The trio worked together to get certified registered voters' signatures to place three new ordinances onto the Dade County ballot that banned discrimination in housing, employment, transportation, and support equality for gays and others living alternative lifestyles, including heterosexuals.

Subsequentially, she graduated from Miami Central High School, where she was a Silver Knight nominee in music and went on to become a professional musician working her way through school from the age of 18 until 1983, when she completed her PhD from the Union Institute. Following licensure as a psychologist she later became a Fellow and Board Certified, in Clinical Health Psychology, by the American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP). She is a lifetime member of the American Psychological Association (APA), American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS), Internation Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders (IFSO) and holds membership in Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). Melodie also graduated from, Miami Dade Junior College \u0026#x2013; North Campus, and Florida Atlantic University (FAU), with a double major, completing that coursework in 1971.  \u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eBefore her involvement with Human Rights work, she had many high-profile musical engagements as a drummer and vocalist. She contracted with a show band called Your Father's Mustache and played the \"Washboard\" and other percussion instruments at the age of 18 at the Hilton Plaza, Miami Beach. During her 1968 and 69 engagement there, the space also hosted Jackie Gleason's weekly television show, as well as the Headquarters for Richard Nixon's 1968 National Convention. Nightly, Nixon's staff were in front row attendance for the nightclub show and would send the young Melodie cold milk to the stage as they sent alcoholic beverages to other members of the band. When he won the election, Nixon's head writer invited Melodie to attend the Inaugural Ball, which she attended with her mother, Laura Joyce Gillett Moorehead Williams. Later Melodie, still an undergraduate, received an invitation from President Nixon's staff to transfer to Georgetown University and study law as a proper introduction to Washington politics. She humbly state: \"I want to become a doctor and help people.\"   \u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eReturning to her intentioned life's mission, she completed the MA degree, in Psychology, from Lone Mountain College  (today, University of San Francisco), in 1977. It was at this period of time she petitioned FAU to confer her undergraduate degree. It had been withheld by the institution due to administrative rules. She won her petition, which helps explains why her MA diploma was conferred a year before her BA. The irony here perhaps was that Dr. Shwartz, who headed the Department of Sociology at FAU, had offered her a full scholarship to the MA program and to a prestigious doctoral program in return for her teaching at FAU for 5 years. Again, she humbly and politely declined. \u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eInstead, Melodie toured with another musical group, which ultimately led to her coming to terms with her same-sex feelings, which had amounted to a lifetime of tumult. Following her own personal paradigmatic shift and owning her sense of \"gay identity,\" Melodie entered psychotherapy with Dr. Theodore Aidman, the first president and founder of the Dade County Psychological Association (Dr. Aidman ultimately served as mentor throughout Melodie's MA and PhD programs; her MA thesis was based on Dr. Adman's work, \"Transcending One's Self-Fulfilling Prophecy.\"). Melodie soon committed herself to a new career in the field of psychology working within the gay community. \u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eDr. Alan Rockway, Mr. Robert \"Bob\" Kunst, and Mr. Bob Basker co-authored the 1976 Miami Gay Rights Ordinance. This Ordinance was repealed through the efforts of Anita Bryant and others the following year.  Before the 1976 Ordinance was repealed and before meeting the authors, Melodie was invited to be interview by Channel 10 News WPLG anchored by Ann Bishop, a popular local journalist. A news crew came to Melodie's Coconut Grove studio apartment, rented monthly for $175.00, to help put a face on what \"Gay\" looked like and to introduce that face to the community. People were expected to soon go to the polls to vote \"For\" or \"Against\" the repeal of the ordinance after the new law was on record for a few months without incident. The news crew stayed inside Melodie's apartment for 4 hours attempting to learn how she felt discriminated against. At the time, she could not come up with a direct sense of discrimination to report. Melodie is first to say, \"I was very na\u0026#xEF;ve.\"\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eBy 1977, Melodie had contributed a chapter in a volume titled Now What? to help parents understand their gay child; Dr. Virginia Pendergrass, a clinical psychologist at FIU, was also among the contributors and she, with the Center for Dialog, often put workshops together where Melodie also presented. \u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eIt was during her Master's level training with the Gestalt Institute of Miami, Dr. Calvin Leonard, then Dean of the University of Miami School of Continuing Education, suggested that she meet directly with Dr. Rockway and Mr. Kunst of the Transperience Center. It was at this meeting when Melodie learned the Transperience Center was only a few doors down from where she lived. The two men began telling her of the $55,000 grant they had written through the federal Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) to fund five positions at the Transperience Center. They asked her to take a position as the Community Outreach Coordinator and Mental Health Counselor for the Transperience Center that they directed. She accepted the position after securing her credentials. The Transperience Center was a community health center for people living in alternative lifestyles. The grant was awarded and, following the repeal of the \"Gay Rights Ordinance,\" the grant was terminated following protests from ultra conservative groups. The trio Moorehead, Rockway, and Kunst then created a new organization, Congress United for Rights and Equality (CURE), and they filed a lawsuit through the Department of Labor for the grant's termination. Going to Federal Court twice without a judge discharging the case, the trio did not have the necessary funds to continue this fight. The gay community, even on the national scale, had not yet mobilized enough to assist. The trio ended up on food stamps for six months and Melodie conducted her last counseling session on the floor of the Transperience Center, as their rented furniture had been repossessed. \u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eIt was during this downtrodden time that Melodie came to better understand  the many faces of discrimination.

The trio worked together to get certified registered voters' signatures to place three new ordinances onto the Dade County ballot that banned discrimination in housing, employment, transportation, and support equality for gays and others living alternative lifestyles, including heterosexuals.

Subsequentially, she graduated from Miami Central High School, where she was a Silver Knight nominee in music and went on to become a professional musician working her way through school from the age of 18 until 1983, when she completed her PhD from the Union Institute. Following licensure as a psychologist she later became a Fellow and Board Certified, in Clinical Health Psychology, by the American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP). She is a lifetime member of the American Psychological Association (APA), American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS), Internation Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders (IFSO) and holds membership in Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). Melodie also graduated from, Miami Dade Junior College – North Campus, and Florida Atlantic University (FAU), with a double major, completing that coursework in 1971.  ","Before her involvement with Human Rights work, she had many high-profile musical engagements as a drummer and vocalist. She contracted with a show band called Your Father's Mustache and played the \"Washboard\" and other percussion instruments at the age of 18 at the Hilton Plaza, Miami Beach. During her 1968 and 69 engagement there, the space also hosted Jackie Gleason's weekly television show, as well as the Headquarters for Richard Nixon's 1968 National Convention. Nightly, Nixon's staff were in front row attendance for the nightclub show and would send the young Melodie cold milk to the stage as they sent alcoholic beverages to other members of the band. When he won the election, Nixon's head writer invited Melodie to attend the Inaugural Ball, which she attended with her mother, Laura Joyce Gillett Moorehead Williams. Later Melodie, still an undergraduate, received an invitation from President Nixon's staff to transfer to Georgetown University and study law as a proper introduction to Washington politics. She humbly state: \"I want to become a doctor and help people.\"   ","Returning to her intentioned life's mission, she completed the MA degree, in Psychology, from Lone Mountain College  (today, University of San Francisco), in 1977. It was at this period of time she petitioned FAU to confer her undergraduate degree. It had been withheld by the institution due to administrative rules. She won her petition, which helps explains why her MA diploma was conferred a year before her BA. The irony here perhaps was that Dr. Shwartz, who headed the Department of Sociology at FAU, had offered her a full scholarship to the MA program and to a prestigious doctoral program in return for her teaching at FAU for 5 years. Again, she humbly and politely declined. ","Instead, Melodie toured with another musical group, which ultimately led to her coming to terms with her same-sex feelings, which had amounted to a lifetime of tumult. Following her own personal paradigmatic shift and owning her sense of \"gay identity,\" Melodie entered psychotherapy with Dr. Theodore Aidman, the first president and founder of the Dade County Psychological Association (Dr. Aidman ultimately served as mentor throughout Melodie's MA and PhD programs; her MA thesis was based on Dr. Adman's work, \"Transcending One's Self-Fulfilling Prophecy.\"). Melodie soon committed herself to a new career in the field of psychology working within the gay community. ","Dr. Alan Rockway, Mr. Robert \"Bob\" Kunst, and Mr. Bob Basker co-authored the 1976 Miami Gay Rights Ordinance. This Ordinance was repealed through the efforts of Anita Bryant and others the following year.  Before the 1976 Ordinance was repealed and before meeting the authors, Melodie was invited to be interview by Channel 10 News WPLG anchored by Ann Bishop, a popular local journalist. A news crew came to Melodie's Coconut Grove studio apartment, rented monthly for $175.00, to help put a face on what \"Gay\" looked like and to introduce that face to the community. People were expected to soon go to the polls to vote \"For\" or \"Against\" the repeal of the ordinance after the new law was on record for a few months without incident. The news crew stayed inside Melodie's apartment for 4 hours attempting to learn how she felt discriminated against. At the time, she could not come up with a direct sense of discrimination to report. Melodie is first to say, \"I was very naïve.\"","By 1977, Melodie had contributed a chapter in a volume titled Now What? to help parents understand their gay child; Dr. Virginia Pendergrass, a clinical psychologist at FIU, was also among the contributors and she, with the Center for Dialog, often put workshops together where Melodie also presented. ","It was during her Master's level training with the Gestalt Institute of Miami, Dr. Calvin Leonard, then Dean of the University of Miami School of Continuing Education, suggested that she meet directly with Dr. Rockway and Mr. Kunst of the Transperience Center. It was at this meeting when Melodie learned the Transperience Center was only a few doors down from where she lived. The two men began telling her of the $55,000 grant they had written through the federal Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA) to fund five positions at the Transperience Center. They asked her to take a position as the Community Outreach Coordinator and Mental Health Counselor for the Transperience Center that they directed. She accepted the position after securing her credentials. The Transperience Center was a community health center for people living in alternative lifestyles. The grant was awarded and, following the repeal of the \"Gay Rights Ordinance,\" the grant was terminated following protests from ultra conservative groups. The trio Moorehead, Rockway, and Kunst then created a new organization, Congress United for Rights and Equality (CURE), and they filed a lawsuit through the Department of Labor for the grant's termination. Going to Federal Court twice without a judge discharging the case, the trio did not have the necessary funds to continue this fight. The gay community, even on the national scale, had not yet mobilized enough to assist. The trio ended up on food stamps for six months and Melodie conducted her last counseling session on the floor of the Transperience Center, as their rented furniture had been repossessed. ","It was during this downtrodden time that Melodie came to better understand  the many faces of discrimination. Kunst even asked Moorehead, \"Do you feel discrimination now?\" She replied \"Yes!,\" and then he asked: \"Are you ready to collect signatures?\" She then committed to collecting 18,000 of the  needed signatures to place an offensive effort to get Human Rights (Gay Rights) on the November 1978 ballot. The trio worked together to get certified registered voters' signatures to place three new ordinances onto the Dade County ballot that banned discrimination in housing, employment, transportation, and support equality for gays and others living alternative lifestyles, including heterosexuals. Throughout the late 1970s and early 1980s, the trio organized to pass equality ordinances and promote media awareness to protect individual rights.  ","Melodie relocated to Fort Lauderdale and began her PhD program in 1980. This relocation was picked up by the local press as Melodie met with every County Commissioner in Broward County regarding Gay Rights. It was not until the passage of the Eckart Bill, which called for the Privacy Rights of citizens in Florida, that Melodie shifted her focus to fully establishing herself in healthcare. By this time, she had learned the great need for culturally sensitive service in the mental health and medical field. Melodie routinely provided services for HTLV-3, later known as AIDS services, to individuals in and out of hospital settings. ","With unanticipated turn of events, by the mid-1980s the then Dr. Moorehead began working with other groups of very often discriminated people struggling with the disease of morbid and super obesity. Her talents and training were recognized and her work evolved to lecturing both nationally and internationally as an invited speaker while maintaining a longstanding private practice and holding staff privileges and responsivities for decades in Broward's hospital system. In 2002 Dr. Moorehead was awarded the Golden Circle of Excellence Award from what now is called ASMBS. She was the first woman and non-surgeon to receive this honor.","During the height of her career, a then-hospitalized Dr. John Graves, who served as the Board of Trustees President of what is today the Stonewall National Museum, Archives, and Library, asked her to serve as president of the decades-old organization. Knowing that this lovely, generous man was terminally ill, she agreed to his request. By 2004 she was at the helm of Stonewall and personally funded a trip to Washington, D.C., where, among her achievements as president, she signed a contract with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum to bring its historic exhibition, \"Nazi Persecution of the Homosexual 1933-45,\" to South Florida. The exhibition was presented at the Fort Lauderdale main library. ","Finally, Dr. Moorehead closed her Professional Association and successfully retired her South Florida 50-year career in mental health. She did so only after providing two years of face-to-face isolation protocol support during the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown in a long-term care facility.  Residents were mandated to remain in their closed rooms while family visitation was prohibited. As of Fall 2025, she retains her licensure and board certification and remains active in licensing professionals and programs worldwide in the use of The Bariatric Analysis and Reporting Outcome System (BAROS) and the Moorehead-Ardelt Quality of Life Questionnaire II (MAII) of which she holds copyright.","Dr. Moorehead encourages all who visit this bio sketch to enjoy the archives and share what you learn with others so that history does not have to repeat itself again.

They asked her to take a position as the Community Outreach Coordinator and Mental Health Counselor for the Transperience Center that they directed. She accepted the position after securing her credentials. The Transperience Center was a community health center for people living in alternative lifestyles. The grant was awarded and, following the repeal of the \"Gay Rights Ordinance,\" the grant was terminated following protests from ultra conservative groups. The trio Moorehead, Rockway, and Kunst then created a new organization, Congress United for Rights and Equality (CURE), and they filed a lawsuit through the Department of Labor for the grant's termination. Going to Federal Court twice without a judge discharging the case, the trio did not have the necessary funds to continue this fight. The gay community, even on the national scale, had not yet mobilized enough to assist. The trio ended up on food stamps for six months and Melodie conducted her last counseling session on the floor of the Transperience Center, as their rented furniture had been repossessed. ","It was during this downtrodden time that Melodie came to better understand  the many faces of discrimination. Kunst even asked Moorehead, \"Do you feel discrimination now?\" She replied \"Yes!,\" and then he asked: \"Are you ready to collect signatures?\" She then committed to collecting 18,000 of the  needed signatures to place an offensive effort to get Human Rights (Gay Rights) on the November 1978 ballot. The trio worked together to get certified registered voters' signatures to place three new ordinances onto the Dade County ballot that banned discrimination in housing, employment, transportation, and support equality for gays and others living alternative lifestyles, including heterosexuals. Throughout the late 1970s and early 1980s, the trio organized to pass equality ordinances and promote media awareness to protect individual rights.  ","Melodie relocated to Fort Lauderdale and began her PhD program in 1980. This relocation was picked up by the local press as Melodie met with every County Commissioner in Broward County regarding Gay Rights. It was not until the passage of the Eckart Bill, which called for the Privacy Rights of citizens in Florida, that Melodie shifted her focus to fully establishing herself in healthcare. By this time, she had learned the great need for culturally sensitive service in the mental health and medical field. Melodie routinely provided services for HTLV-3, later known as AIDS services, to individuals in and out of hospital settings. ","With unanticipated turn of events, by the mid-1980s the then Dr. Moorehead began working with other groups of very often discriminated people struggling with the disease of morbid and super obesity. Her talents and training were recognized and her work evolved to lecturing both nationally and internationally as an invited speaker while maintaining a longstanding private practice and holding staff privileges and responsivities for decades in Broward's hospital system. In 2002 Dr. Moorehead was awarded the Golden Circle of Excellence Award from what now is called ASMBS. She was the first woman and non-surgeon to receive this honor.","During the height of her career, a then-hospitalized Dr. John Graves, who served as the Board of Trustees President of what is today the Stonewall National Museum, Archives, and Library, asked her to serve as president of the decades-old organization. Knowing that this lovely, generous man was terminally ill, she agreed to his request. By 2004 she was at the helm of Stonewall and personally funded a trip to Washington, D.C., where, among her achievements as president, she signed a contract with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum to bring its historic exhibition, \"Nazi Persecution of the Homosexual 1933-45,\" to South Florida. The exhibition was presented at the Fort Lauderdale main library. ","Finally, Dr. Moorehead closed her Professional Association and successfully retired her South Florida 50-year career in mental health. She did so only after providing two years of face-to-face isolation protocol support during the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown in a long-term care facility.  Residents were mandated to remain in their closed rooms while family visitation was prohibited. As of Fall 2025, she retains her licensure and board certification and remains active in licensing professionals and programs worldwide in the use of The Bariatric Analysis and Reporting Outcome System (BAROS) and the Moorehead-Ardelt Quality of Life Questionnaire II (MAII) of which she holds copyright.","Dr. Moorehead encourages all who visit this bio sketch to enjoy the archives and share what you learn with others so that history does not have to repeat itself again.

After serving during World War I, he became a small-town doctor in Clayton, Illinois. In 1943, he was drafted back into military service and was stationed in several hospitals throughout England, where he worked as an army doctor for much of the remainder of the war. Rackleff worked largely with German prisoners of war. Arthritis caused Rackleff to be sent back to the United States on medical leave. Following this, he was stationed in Camp Gordon Johnston, Florida until he was sent to Germany.","After the war, Rackleff served as part of the occupational force in Germany. Originally, he was stationed in Heidelberg, though he moved to a smaller camp shortly after, where his wife and two sons joined him. From the items in this collection, one can see that the family traveled throughout the Allied zones regularly during their time in Germany. Ronald Rackleff, Melvin's oldest son, completed his high school education in the American Occupational Force schools, and the younger son, Robert Rackleff, also attended. Later on, he served during the Korean War, eventually retiring from the Army and taking a job as a VA physician. He passed away on February 10, 1994, and is buried in Bay Pines National Cemetery, Bay Pines, FL.","Transferred from the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience to FSU Libraries Special Collections \u0026 Archives in July 2022.","This collection is composed of the personal possessions of Capt.
