Join Ainsley Wynn Eakins from the William Way Center and Andrew White from The Rosenbach for a Virtual Hands-on History program in celebration of Philly Pride Month 2020.  Never-before-seen plays and outstanding artifacts will be shown and discussed, including: 

• Anita Cornwell Collection from the John J Wilcox LGBT Archives
• Original playbills and reviews from the premiere of Lorraine Hansberry’s Raisin in the Sun
• Oscar Wilde's personal notebook from the Rare Book Department of the Free Library of Philadelphia, containing his own doodles and working drafts of his poem Panthea.

LGBTQ+ pride and African American heritage are rooted in acts of protest and solidarity—and share a vital history of queer people of color fighting for intersectional justice. That spirit guides the Free Library of Pride this year. We support #BlackLivesMatter and honor LGBTQ+ Pride Month with programming that aims to lift up these two movements that are stronger together.
