The traveling exhibit comes to the C.C. Museum from the Stonewall National Museum & Archives in Fort Lauderdale through their collaboration with the Mosaic Project of South Texas/PRIDE Corpus Christi. It will commemorate National Coming Out Day on October 11^th and LGBTQ+ History Month throughout October 2021. LGBTQ+ History Month recognizes the history and diversity of the LGBTQ+ community and the importance of civil rights movements in progressing gay rights. The Stonewall Museum wrote, “This exhibition looks at the who, what and where of those June nights in an attempt to understand why the Stonewall riots became the catalytic movement in the effort to secure equal rights for LGBTQ Americans.” To learn more about the exhibition and the captivating story, please visit www.stonewall-museum.org/traveling-exhibitions.
