2019 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the passage of the Omnibus Act in Canada, which partially decriminalized homosexuality, and the Stonewall Riots in New York City, a milestone for gay liberation in the US. This talk examines the twin histories of these events and asks how far we have come in the last half century鈥攁nd how far we still have to go.
A special exhibition and light reception will follow the event.
All are invited to attend. RSVP Here
