Discover an overlooked piece of Kentucky’s history…

Join Dr. Jonathan Coleman—co-founder of the Faulkner Morgan Archive and author of the upcoming book Anywhere, Together: A Queer History of Kentucky—to explore the rich history of the LGBTQ community in the Commonwealth. During his presentation, Dr. Coleman will share several notable artifacts from the Archive’s collection. Then, after the opening discussion, we will open up for questions from members of our Facebook Live audience.

ABOUT THE FAULKNER MORGAN ARCHIVE
Dedicated to telling Kentucky’s LGBTQ story, the Faulkner Morgan Archive, Inc. collects, preserves, and promotes the lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and queer history of Kentucky. Founded in 2014, the FMA currently houses 15,000 items and more than 250 hours of recorded interviews. The collections span 200 years of history, representing individuals, events, and institutions across Kentucky’s diverse LGBTQ spectrum, creating a rich resource for activists, scholars, artists, and museums.

For ages 13 and up.
Enjoy the live presentation from the comfort of home via BCPL’s main Facebook page at 6:30 PM. Can’t make it at 6:30 PM? That’s fine, too. The discussion will remain online to view, share, and enjoy.
