Mapping LGBTQ St. Louis

*Doors open @ 6:30. Program @ 7:00 with reception to follow* Join us for a free event to celebrate Mapping LGBTQ St. Louis, a new digital history initiative that connects the public to historical information about places in our region’s LGBTQIA history. Surveying a period from 1943 to 1992, the initiative has inventoried more than 700 sites, many of which have been demolished. Learn about some of the historic sites that have been uncovered from this exciting project. UPDATE (10/6/17): With panelists Flowing Johnson, Sherie White, and Erise Williams, Jr. Presented in collaboration with the St. Louis LGBT History Project, Washington University in St. Louis, and the State Historical Society of Missouri. Mapping LGBTQ St. Louis is funded as part of a Mellon Foundation grant awarded to the Divided City Initiative at Washington University in St. Louis’s Center for the Humanities.
