"Our Love Lives Here" Vigil
Thursday June 6th at Wilder Park
This vigil commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising in New York. These demonstrations by members of the gay community against a police raid in June of 1969 are seen as the catalyst for the start of the gay liberation movement and the modern fight for LGBTQ rights in the United States.
Love Lives Here will celebrate and support our LGBTQ community with music, presentations and GLOWSTICKS. There will be supportive community organizations as well.
Rock star Cathy Richardson will provide the music. Director of Human Rights for the State of Illinois, Jim Bennett, is our featured speaker. We'll have reflections from some of our neighbors.
Come celebrate with us!
When
Thu, June 6, 2019 7:30 PM – 8:30 PM CDT
