ONE Remembers Jim Schneider
(1932-2012)

Earlier this month, LGBTQ history lost a true pioneer, Jim Schneider. James Vernon Schneider was born in 1932 on the family farm in Nebraska. In 1955 he came to California and  joined ONE in the early 1960s. By 1964 he was serving on the Board of Directors. Unfortunately for ONE, he was caught up in the 1965 schism, and was removed from ONE's board. Don Slater than tapped him to work on Tangents Magazine. In 1968 he, Slater, and Billy Glover signed the articles of incorporation for the Homosexual Information Center (HIC). The liberation movement soon subsumed the homophile movement and HIC slowly dissolved.

 

In 1994 the University of Southern California offered to provide a building for the ONE Institute. John O'Brien, board president, reached out to HIC and Schneider. The new facility offered the opportunity for HIC records to be placed at ONE and Schneider to return to the board. Through Schneider's office supply business, he arranged and paid for the storage of the records of ONE and HIC. In 1998, Schneider took the lead in completing the renovations at the 909 West Adams building. 

  

Through his stewardship, the archival records of ONE and HIC remained safe during the renovation. Jim will be greatly missed!
