In the last 50 years, LGBTQIA+ history has grown from a nonexistent field of study into one that is rich and widely diverse. Join Dr. John D’Emilio, a pioneer in the field, as he traces that evolution and the growth of community-based archives that sustain this research and writing. D’Emilio’s book "Queer Legacies: Stories from Chicago’s LGBTQ Archives" will be available for purchase in the Sold on St. Louis shop.
The James Neal Primm Lecture in History is an annual speaker series that brings distinguished historians and scholars to St. Louis to share their current research through public lectures, seminars, and informal meetings. The lecture honors James Neal Primm, celebrated St. Louis historian and Curators’ Professor Emeritus of the University of Missouri–St. Louis.
Join us in the Grand Hall before our main-stage event to enjoy food and drinks available for purchase from the Key Bistro. Visit resource tables to learn more about local LGBTQIA+ organizations here in St. Louis. Participate in our craft activity: DIY Pride flags and pride buttons!
