The event had previously been held at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. As attorney general of Alabama, Jeff Sessions repeatedly tried to stop the 1996 conference from taking place at UA, even threatening to take legal action against the university on the basis of a 1992 Alabama law that aimed to prohibit state schools from giving money or space to LGBTQ organizations. The 1992 law was overturned, and Sessions&#8217; efforts to halt the conference were unsuccessful.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Donor<\/td>\n<td>Gift of June Holloway<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Collection<\/td>\n<td><em>Alabama Forum<\/em> Records<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Repository<\/td>\n<td>The University of Alabama Libraries Special Collections<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Related Items<\/td>\n<td>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/apps.lib.ua.edu\/blogs\/empoweringvoices\/voices-of-diversity-living-out-in-the-south-college-conference-flyer\/\">Voices of Diversity: Living Out in the South&#8221;
