Lighthouse LGBTQ is hosting a special program and discussion on Wednesday, Oct. 16, about the Illinois Inclusive Curriculum bill passed by the Illinois legislature this spring.
Our conversation with Victor Salvo, founder and Executive Director of the Legacy Project, talks with us about the upcoming Legacy Wall coming to Palm Springs during Pride. The Legacy Wall displays information about significant LGBT people throughout history and their contributions.
The Legacy Wall, a traveling installation created by The Legacy Project (TLP), stopped in Hillman Hall Oct. 1, giving Washington University students the opportunity to visualize and learn about the past and present of the LGBTQIA* community.
Public memorials honoring figures from the LGBTQ community say a lot about a city’s culture and serve as a reminder that coming out can be its own heroic milestone.
The Legacy Project is a nationally-recognized traveling monument that celebrates 4,000 years of LGBTQIA+ history around the globe.
What do Walt Whitman, Jane Addams, Harvey Milk, Sally Ride and Rock Hudson have in common? They were trailblazers and pioneers in their respective fields. They also were gay.
Illinois just officially became the fifth state to require its public schools to include LGBTQ history in the curriculum.
Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed a bill last week mandating Illinois public schools teach students about the contributions to American society of people that identify as LGBTQ, and now advocates who pushed for the law must develop a curriculum by the next school year. (Mentions the Legacy Project)
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker has signed a bill into law that will require all public schools in the state to teach history that includes the contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people.
