🌈 Pride Month reminds us that history is shaped by diverse voices and experiences.

As historians, we examine the stories, movements, and individuals who have challenged barriers, advocated for change, and expanded our understanding of the past. This month, we celebrate the contributions and histories of LGBTQ+ communities and recognize their lasting impact on society.

And so introducing...
Pride Month Spotlight: Marsha P. Johnson

Marsha P. Johnson was a Black activist, performer, and advocate whose work helped shape the gay rights movement. A prominent figure in New York City's LGBTQ+ community, Marsha was dedicated to supporting marginalized individuals and fighting for equality.

Happy Pride Month from the History Department!

This year’s conference brought together nearly 50 students who presented their research, shared original work, and contributed to a full day of engaging panels and discussions.
