About this Event
Guided Tour of LGBTQ+ History - EAST
Step into LGBTQ+ history beneath the iconic Flame sign on Park Boulevard, where stories of resilience and community come alive. Beginning with Hillcrest's 1907 origins when Coroner William Wesley Whitson purchased 40 acres for $1,000, discover how this neighborhood celebrated its first streetlamps in 1926 with aerial bombs, fireworks, and dancing in the streets. Explore legendary venues like The Flame and Numbers that became catalysts for change, hosting fundraising efforts for PACTO, the Hillcrest Youth Center, and the Toni Atkins Lesbian Health Fund. Join us for an unforgettable journey through streets where activism met celebration, and history was made one story at a time.
