LGBTQ+ history isn’t just made in New York and San Francisco: across the country, in big cities and small towns, the movement for liberation sprouted and continues to grow.
A multimedia southern LGBTQ+ history project.
The Project
Here in Atlanta, the legacies of LGBTQ+ leaders who changed the course of history yesterday mingle with the energetic voices of those charting new history today.
The Atlanta LGBTQ+ History Project is a multimedia initiative to gather, share, and preserve the history of LGBTQ+ Southerners. Using photography, oral history, podcasting, and archival materials, the project brings LGBTQ+ history alive through the stories of the people who lived it, told in their own voices.
