The Beacons project, made possible by generous financial support from the Eldon E. Murray Foundation Fund and Potawatomi Casino Hotel, explores the history of LGBTQ progress in Wisconsin, through the voices of those who fought on the front lines for liberation, equality, and social justice across six decades.
The Beacons project includes a gallery exhibit, guest speakers, a video documentary screening, and a live panel discussion, Q&A, and photo opportunities with the Beacons themselves.
