What's Up Weekly- 08.15.22

Thanks for subscribing to our weekly newsletter! Here we will have upcoming events, exciting topics, news about the museum and much more! Let's dive into our inaugural newsletter and cover everything you need to know for the week of August 15th, 2022

What's It Going To Take? The LGBTQIA + Experience in 2022

LGBTQIA+ issues are increasingly important in the national conversation about civil rights, freedom, and legislative and judiciary reform. With recent efforts to codify same-sex marriage, the introduction and passing of “Don’t Say Gay” legislation, and multiple attacks by extremist groups, the struggle for LGBTQIA+ equality is ongoing in 2022.

Our panel offers participants a chance to hear and consider what equality looks like for LGBTQIA+ individuals. What is the modern LGBTQIA+ experience? How are recent and historical events impacting the community? Join us as we address these questions in a conversation moderated by Daniel Valdez (Charlotte Pride) alongside Karen Graci (PFlag Charlotte).

Join us IN PERSON on Tuesday, August 30th at 6 pm. 1900 The Plaza, Charlotte, NC 

This event is FREE and open to all.

Miss the Workshop?

Last week Frederick Murphy, founder of History Before Us, gave an insightful workshop for our Youth Voices: Digital Stories initiative. It's okay if you missed it because the video is available to rewatch on both our YouTube and Facebook pages. 

Frederick gave some great tips for filming your own quick documentary. So make sure to check it out and learn more about our Digital Stories program. 

Find us at Pride!
