Event Details

Saundra Mitchell, acclaimed editor of the LGBTQIA+ anthology series All Out, Out Now, Out There, and author of the award-winning Shadowed Summer and All The Things We Do in the Dark, presents "The First Pride was a Riot: The Enduring Legacy of Stonewall."

This program presents an informal history of the Stonewall Uprisings and how they form the basis for today's Pride Parades and Festivals, but also remain a call to arms for LGBTQIA+ people and their allies to stand up and demand equality for all under the law.
