Join us for the final day of Come Out! In Detroit. The full-color, nonfiction comic book "Come Out! In Detroit" tells the story of Christopher Street Detroit ’72, the first-ever LGBTQ+ pride celebration in Michigan held over 50 years ago. It was created using eyewitness primary sources, oral histories, and a cache of largely unseen photographs. This exhibition features enlarged prints of the comic book cover and pages.
Creators Dr. Tim Retzloff (the historian) and Isabel Clare Paul (the artist) will join Billy Wall-Winkel, Detroit Historical Society Field Curator, to talk about the comic and the process of getting it made.
