ABSTRACT

Billy Glover, as he is known to his friends, was a dedicated volunteer at ONE who, without any intent to do so, was a precipitating force in the division of ONE into two competing groups. He then became the loyal supporter and volunteer to Don Slater at the Homosexual Information Center in Hollywood, and was a decisive influence in eventually merging the Slater collections into the new united library of gay and lesbian materials at the University of Southern California. His activist life emphasizes just how much individual personalities played in the struggle for gay and lesbian rights.
