About this Event
Add to calendarTo celebrate LGBTQ+ History Month, the Intercultural Diversity will host the Stonewall National Museum’s 50 Years: The Stonewall Uprising traveling exhibit. In June 1969, riots at the Stonewall Inn in New York’s Greenwich Village are generally cited as the starting point of the LGBTQ+ rights movement. Participants will learn about the creation and execution of the LGBTQ+ rights movement, the era of LGBTQ+ liberation and the impact of gay activist organizations and understand why the Stonewall riots became the catalytic movement in the effort to secure equal rights for LGBTQ+ Americans. The exhibit will open on Monday, October 2, 2023 at 12pm and conclude on Tuesday, October 31, 2023. For more information, contact the Intercultural Diversity Center at ua_idc@ua.edu.
