Shelbi Clarke Rhein

The material included here was gifted by Shelbi Clarke Rhein, and mostly represents material related to her brother, Lige Clarke, an important early gay rights advocate originally from Hindman, Kentucky. These items were mailed to me by Rhein on October 19, 2019. Rhein was born in Hindman, Kentucky. She is the older sister of Lige Clarke. She is the mother of New York based artist, Eric Rhien. This material was sent to me over the course of 2019 as I was writing my article on Lige Clarke.
