| Abstract | Started in 1997, LEGATRA is the acronym for the Alliance for the Defense of Lesbians, Gays and Transgender Persons' Basic Human Rights in Zambia. The collection consists of two legal strategy documents, a LEGATRA newsletter, and press clippings from mainstream Zambian newspapers. The 35 pages of press clippings document the public furore that greeted LEGATRA's attempted registration as a non-profit society in 1998. LEGATRA, due to police and state harassment, was short lived, with most members fleeing Zambia's borders. |
