American history is queer history, yet it often overlooks members of the LGBTQ community and their fight for equality.
In January 2016, Matthew Riemer and his partner Leighton Brown launched the @lbgt_history, a visually provoking, curated Instagram page that blends striking imagery and meticulously researched narratives to uncover details too often overlooked.
Join us for a live recording of Press Play, which will feature an conversation with Matthew.
Host Temple Northup and Matthew will discuss everything from what inspired the launch of @lgbt_history to Matthew and Leighton's new book We Are Everywhere and how they built some of Houston’s queer history into the narrative.
Following the interview, Matthew will engage in a lively audience Q&A and sign copies of We Are Everywhere. We will also be giving away a limited number of the book on a first-come basis. Additional copies will be available for purchase at the University of Houston bookstore.
