The two courageous founders, Charles Leslie and Fritz Lohman should be honored as heros of our community and the foundation is an important and lonely beacon of light in an otherwise bleak picture. Check out our foundations website at http://www.leslielohman.org . Thank you.

The Velvet Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization committed to establishing a National Museum of American LGBT History & Culture in Washington, DC. The museum will serve as a forum for the identification, study, and dissemination of the social, historical, and cultural contributions of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community—and its relation within the larger society—through collections, exhibitions, research, publications, and other public programs.
