Congrats Mandy!
I can’t believe it, but I somehow managed to miss mentioning Mandy’s award in my post about Creating Change. Mandy Carter - my co-facilitator for our “Out (or not) in the Child Welfare System” workshop - was honored by NLGTF for her forty (yes 40) years of activism in social justice movements. Mandy has been active in the African-American, women’s, and GLBT rights movements for significantly longer than I’ve been alive. 
Congratulations once again Mandy.
Our workshop co-conspirator Pauline Parks, wrote a wonderful blog entry over at VisibleVote08 about Mandy’s award and her acceptance speech. I’m mentioned in passing about halfway through the post.
Pauline, Mandy, Matt Foreman and I took a picture following Mandy’s acceptance speech. Unfortunately, my camera was still setup for outdoors and the shots didn’t come out at all. Once I manage to get a copy from Mandy or Pauline, I’ll post it here.
