SUMMARY:City Club Forum Explores the Legacy of Astronaut Sally Ride
DESCRIPTION:\nFri 4/4 @ 11:30AM\nAstronaut Sally Ride was the first America
 n woman in space (two Russians preceded her). She was also the youngest Am
 erican astronaut in space when she took her 1983 journey at the age of 32.
  As a Stanford graduate with a PhD in physics\, she joined NASA in 1978. C
 learly no “DEI” hire\, the abolition of “diversity\, equality and in
 clusion” would institutionalize the type of roadblocks and arbitrary exc
 lusion based on irrelevant traits and identities that she had to face back
  in the day. In addition to being a woman\, Ride was a lesbian who had a 2
 7-year relationship she largely hid.\n\nThe Cleveland International Film F
 estival is screen the film Sally\, about the challenges she faces\, on Sat
 urday April 5. In conjunction with that screening\, the City Club is hosti
 ng a forum on “Astronaut Sally Ride’s Legacy\, LGBTQ+ Rights and Progr
 ess for Women in STEM\,” asking “Are we destined to confront the same 
 challenges as Sally did in the 1980s?” (Yes.)\n\nKen Schneck from Ohio L
 GBTQ+ newsroom The Buckeye Flame will lead a discussion featuring Amanda C
 ole\, executive director of PLEXUS LGBT and Allied Chamber of Commerce\, a
 nd Marcy Frumker\, president of the International Women’s Air and Space 
 Museum\, based at Cleveland’s Burke Lakefront Airport.\n\nGet tickets he
