About this Event

Bronzeville is often thought of as one of Chicago’s most prominent, African-American neighborhoods, but it was also home to a vibrant, well-accepted queer culture that emerged in the 1920s onward. From State Street to Cottage Grove Avenue, along 43rd and 47th Street, Bronzeville’s commercialized and jazz-influenced urban culture offered African-American queers several venues where individuals interacted across race.

Join us with Rachael Pierce on Saturday, June 10th during PRIDE month for a Queer history tour of the Bronzeville area to learn more, in addition to SSCAC's role in highlighting queer histories as they relate to Black artists.

Walking tour will begin at South Side Community Art Center.
