"Not a Good Fit? --
Transgender Civil Rights and the Federal Workforce"
Encore Presentation
When Airborne Ranger qualified Special Forces Colonel David Schroer applied to the Library of Congress to be the senior terrorism research analyst, it seemed a perfect fit.
After accepting the job, but prior to starting work, David took the future boss to lunch to explain that David would soon be Diane, and thought it would be easier for everyone if she simply started work as Diane.
The following day, her future boss rescinded the job offer, telling her that she wasn't a "good fit" for the Library of Congress. Diane filed a discrimination complaint in federal court and is being represented by the ACLU http://www.aclu.org/lgbt/transgender.
Diane Schroer and her lawyer, Sharon McGowan, will talk about the case and its ramifications.
This "Encore" program, was first presented on November 16, 2007 and was so well received, Diane Schroer and Sharon McGowan have been invited back to speak again. This program is sponsored by members of Goddard's Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender (GLBT) Advisory Committee

Brown Bag Lunch/Learn Movie: “The Grace Lee Project” with the Asian Pacific American Advisory Committee
“The Grace Lee Project” - When Korean American filmmaker Grace Lee was growing up in Missouri, she was the only Grace Lee she knew. Once she left the Midwest however, everyone she met seemed to know "another Grace Lee." But why did they assume that all Grace Lees were reserved, dutiful, piano-playing overachievers? The filmmaker plunges into a funny, highly unscientific investigation into all those Grace Lees who break the mold -- from a fiery social activist to a rebel who tried to burn down her high school. With wit and charm, THE GRACE LEE PROJECT puts a hilarious spin on the eternal question, "What's in a name?”
*** All managers, employees and staff, civil service as well as contractors, are cordially invited to attend this movie event. ***

15th Annual Holocaust Remembrance Federal Observance Event
The 15th annual Holocaust Remembrance program will be held on Wednesday, May 7, 2008, at 11:30 am. The theme for this year's national Days of Remembrance, as designated by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, is Do Not Stand Silent: Remembering Kristallnacht 1938. The committee, this year, has decided on a different theme for our program, Rescuers.
We will be joined this year by Joseph Ichiuji, a Japanese-American war veteran who was interned at Poston War Relocation Center, an internment camp in Arizona for Americans of Japanese origin, for one year after having been drafted, but not allowed to serve. It was not until 1943 that he was allowed to join the U.S. Army. His 100/442nd Regimental Combat Team, an Army unit of Japanese-Americans, became the most decorated unit in U.S. military history for its size and length of service due to their outstanding bravery and heavy combat duty they faced. There were over 18,000 individual decorations for bravery, 9,500 Purple Hearts, and seven Presidential Distinguished Unit Citations.
At the dedication of the World War II Memorial in Washington, he “told of being among the first of the allied forces to liberate Jews from the camps of Dachau in April 1945. ‘When I saw the barbed wire it reminded me of the camp my family was in,’ he said, ‘and I wondered when they were going to free my family.’” (New York Times, 5/30/2004)
Mr. Ichiuji lives in Rockville, Maryland.
Majlinda Myrto is an Albanian-American Muslim, the daughter-in-law of rescuer Shyqyri Myrto. She will speak about how her late father-in-law and his family took in his friend Josef Jakoel and Josef's sister Keti in October 1943, shortly after Albania was occupied by the Germans, until its liberation in November 1944. Although it was no secret in the town of Kavaja that two of the “extended family members” living with the Myrtos were Jews, nobody betrayed them.
Even when Shyqyri's brother Ramazan was arrested as not friendly to the occupiers, and sent to the Mauthausen camp in Austria, from which he never returned, the Jakoels were sheltered.
Shyqyri Myrto and Josef Jakoel, school friends before the war, maintained the friendship even after Josef emigrated to Israel. In 1993, an American Jewish benefactor made it possible for a group of Righteous Albanians to visit Israel, where they were honored by Yad Vashem. Shyqyri and Josef were reunited one last time.
His Excellency Robert Kupiecki, the newly arrived Ambassador of the Republic of Poland, will read a letter from Irena Sendler. This Polish gentile social worker smuggled approximately 2500 Jewish children out of the Warsaw ghetto, and placed them with Polish families, in convents, or in orphanages. Because her goal was always to reunite the children with their families, she put information about each into glass jars which were buried in her garden. Her story was almost unknown until four high school girls from rural Kansas began researching some information about her in 1999 for a National History Day Project. Their research led to the Life in a Jar project.
Ambassador Kupiecki was born in Warsaw in 1967. He holds a Ph.D. degree in political science, in addition to a number of other degrees, and specialises in international relations. Ambassador Kupiecki started to work for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1994. From 1999 to 2004, he was Deputy Ambassador of the Permanent Representation of the Republic of Poland to NATO and Western European Union (WEU) in Brussels. In 2004, he became Director of the Security Policy Department, until his current appointment
