Abstract

The lesbian activism of Ruth C. Ellis had a valuable impact on the Afroamerican community, an impact which continues today through the Ruth C. Ellis Center, as it fights to procure shelter and opportunities for the Black adolescent LGTBIQ+ community. Despite her lengthy trajectory and collective outcomes of her work, the figure of Ruth C. Ellis was overshadowed by hegemonic discourse. The independent biographical documentary by Yvonne Welbon (1999) succeeded in gathering Ellis’s experiences and actions and presenting her legacy to popular culture in a collective sharing that honours the immense labor of hospitality, as understood in terms of resistance and social transformation, of this memorable activist.
