Description

The Mother of a Movement is a true story of parental support and unconditional love. The Mother of a Movement tells the story of Jeanne Manford, the founder of PFLAG (Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays).

When her son Morty was beaten by New York City officials for handing out pro-gay leaflets, Manford wrote a powerful letter to the New York Post to complain about how Morty was treated.

In the letter she came out as the mother of a gay son.

The letter was published. Morty invited his mother to march with him in the June 1972 Christopher Street Parade.

While marching, she had the idea to form a group to help parents and families of LGBTQ+ people.

That was the beginning of PFLAG.   The Children’s Book Council Children’s Favorites Award 2023 for books published in 20222023 Texas Topaz Nonfiction Reading List2023 Orbis Pictus Recommended Book from the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE)Finalist for the Jane Addams Children's Book Award in the Younger Children Category2022 FOREWORD INDIES FINALIST
