Join us in commemorating Pride Month with a compelling discussion on the intersection of LGBTQ+ history and the Holocaust. Delve into the legacy of the pink triangle and how knowledge of the Holocaust shaped the fight for queer liberation and influenced American gay rights activism. As a symbol used by the Nazis to identify and persecute queer men and transgender women, the pink triangle has since been reclaimed as a symbol of resistance and pride. Our panel of experts will explore the significance of the pink triangle and its impact on LGBTQ+ history and culture.
The event will be moderated by Jake Newsome, author of “Pink Triangle Legacies,” who will guide us through the complex history and meaning of this important symbol. Jake Newsome is an accomplished author and scholar who has extensively researched the pink triangle and its impact on LGBTQ+ history and culture. More information coming soon!
