The Project

Here in Atlanta, the legacies of LGBTQ+ leaders who changed the course of history yesterday mingle with the energetic voices of those charting new history today.

The Atlanta LGBTQ+ History Project is a multimedia initiative to gather, share, and preserve the history of LGBTQ+ Southerners. Using photography, oral history, podcasting, and archival materials, the project brings LGBTQ+ history alive through the stories of the people who lived it, told in their own voices.
