Founder of the Stonewall Library & Archives

[edit]

The person who conceptualized, founded and nurtured The Stonewall Library And Archives was Mark Neil Silber, one of the earliest and most accomplished pioneers and activists in the South Florida L/G/B/T community. Silber was born on June 3, 1954 in Queens, New York. At a very early age, Silber's family moved to Hollywood, Florida.

Involvement in "the Gay Liberation movement" began in 1972 when Silber was a senior in Nova High School in Fort Lauderdale: within a few years he not only founded the Stonewall Library, was a co-founder of Broward Gay Community Services, Congregation Etz Chaim: Metropolitan Community Synogogue of Greater Miami; founder and first President of the Gay Academic Union of Florida Atlantic University (Boca Raton), was a founder and an officer in the Broward County Coalition for Human Rights, Inc. Mark N. Silber graduated with a bachelor's degree from Florida Atlantic University in 1977.

After graduating college, Silber "flirted" (his own words) with Democratic Party Politics. For a few years from the late '70's until the early '80's he was on the Executive Committee of the Broward County Democratic Party. In 1980 Silber was a delegate at the National Democratic Convention in New York City.

Today Mark N. Silber lives in Philadelphia, PA, where he was quoted as saying he will continue to "dedicate and devote my life to the cause of Gay and Lesbian Liberation."76.124.107.18 (talk) 03:26, 19 March 2008 (UTC)buddmar[reply]
