From minivan to vanguard: an oral history with Sherri Kaiser
(Colorado State University. Libraries, 2024-05-13) Kaiser, Emma, author
This oral history portfolio captures the life and legacy of Sherri S. Kaiser, a civil defense attorney in the fight for same-sex marriage rights in the United States. Conducted in Berkeley, California, on March 12, 2024, the interview reveals Sherri’s role in defending San Francisco’s issuance of marriage licenses to same-sex couples in 2004. Her firsthand account provides an intimate perspective on the intersection of legal strategy and personal stakes during a critical chapter in U.S. civil rights history. Sherri’s reflections also highlight her experiences as a mother in a same-sex partnership, navigating societal change and building community in the Bay Area. The interview and interpretation contained in this oral history portfolio stand as testaments to the enduring impact of grassroots advocacy, legal determination, and the power of love to transform cultural and legal landscapes.
