Living With Pride: Margaret Walker Center kicks off LGBTQ+ Pride Month with an eye-opening exhibit centering on Southern Black queer stories

The Margaret Walker Center kicked off LGBTQ+ Pride month with an exhibit unveiling honoring the stories of Black queer individuals who navigated the difficult terrains of sexuality while growing up in the South. Collecting the unique perspectives of young Black men who have both triumphed and struggled in the pursuit of peace, this project presented a series of oral interviews with participants that allow the audience to gain an understanding that may have once been clouded by preconceived notions.
