Gay activist from Ypsilanti, Michigan, who helped lead the fight for Ypsilanti's anti-discrimination ordinance. Correspondence and agenda and meeting minutes of Ypsilanti city council and other city agencies at which anti-discrimination ordinance was debated; newspaper clippings; and papers of Citizens for Community, a lesbian-gay-bisexual activist group.

The Charles L. Duty Papers mainly document the activities of an energetic gay and civil rights activist. The bulk of the materials span two years, 1997 and 1998, which correspond to Duty's fight for the passage of the Ypsilanti's anti-discrimination ordinance. The rest of the materials document Duty's association with Citizens for Community and its relations with various other advocacy and community groups. The materials are arranged into two distinct series: Anti-Discrimination Ordinance and Citizens for Community.
