The collection includes an unedited draft of his memoirs, which were never completed. Jack Nichols is a native of Chevy Chase, MD. Until he moved to New York City with his partner Lige Clarke in the late 1960s, Nichols was extensively involved in gay activism and gay life in Washington, DC. He was a founding member of the Mattachine Society of Washington (MSW), participated in MSW’s picketing at the White House, the Pentagon, Civil Service, and at Independence Hall in Philadelphia. Nichols was an active participant in annual meetings of the East Coast Homophile Organizations (ECHO) and spoke from the podium on several occasions. In New York City, Nichols and Clarke founded, wrote for, and edited the early national newspaper Gay. Today he edits and writes for the online newspaper Gay Today (www.gaytoday.com) which is published by the Badpuppy website. He has generously contributed a wonderful album of photographs of his life in DC and elsewhere from which the following photographs are drawn.

Adkins (pseudonym for Jack Nichols) A telephone call from producer Norman Ross took me to Baltimore on March 22 to appear on John Sterling’s 45-minute show “Contact.” Appearing with me was the Reverend Leroy Graham, Ph.D., chaplain of American University and a strongsupporter of civil liberties and social rights for homosexuals. During the preceding week, WJZ had flashed my picture on TV screens, with a caption reading “The Second Largest Minority” advertising the program at station breaks and promising to give Baltimore’s public its first glimpse of a live homosexual “associated with the Mattachine Society.” Questions from both the moderator and the TV audience revolved principally around the notion that homosexuality is a malfunction or illness. Both Dr. Graham and I vigorously countered such concepts, maintaining that homosexuality is probably being “caused” in the homosexual at the same time that heterosexuality is being “caused” in the heterosexual – and that the former is not due to pathological taint. Dr. Graham and I agreed with each other, supplementing and reinforcing our common viewpoint, namely, that homosexuals are not a priori sick, and deserve equal treatment as citizens of this free nation. The significance of this show lies in the fact that for the first time, a distinguished Methodist clergyman on the east Coast has publicly associated himself with the civil libertarian aims of the homophile movement and has made his views known to a wide television audience. After the completion of the show, the producer led us to his office where we both answered a great number of telephone calls from an interested TV audience.
