What does the Lavender Graduation Celebration entail?

What is a Lavender Graduation?

The First Lavender Graduation was held in 1995 at Michigan State University because of the work of Dr. Ronnie Sanlo. A Jewish lesbian, Dr. Sanlo envisioned the lavender color as a remembrance of gays and lesbians who were killed during the Holocaust. Gay men were made to wear pink triangles in concentration camps and lesbians were forced to wear black triangles. These symbols have been reclaimed as a source of pride and remembrance in modern times and the significance of lavender comes from the idea that if pink and black were mixed, they may create that lovely shade of purple. Today, many institutions of higher learning participate in Lavender or Rainbow Graduation ceremonies or celebrations in order to honor the LGBTQ and Ally graduates within their communities.
