About this event:
A panel discussion traces pivotal lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, and transgender (LGBT) moments of the last 40 years, including raids during January and May 1968 at The Trip, a gay-owned restaurant-bar in Chicago, and a series of spontaneous riots on June 28, 1969 at the Stonewall Inn in New York's Greenwich Village. Sharing their first-hand experiences will be historian and writer Marie J. Kuda, lawyer William B. Kelley, activist and former business owner Vernita Gray and Chicago Free Press journalist Sukie de la Croix.
