Join us as historian Dr. Jake Newsome tells the dynamic and inspiring history of the LGBTQ+ community's original pride symbol by tracing the transformation of the pink triangle from a Nazi concentration camp badge into a widespread emblem of queer liberation, pride, and community. Drawing from unexplored archival sources and original interviews, Dr. Newsome showcases the voices of LGBTQ+ Holocaust victims and a rich tapestry of queer lives who found meaning in the pink triangle in a post-Holocaust world. The presentation will be followed by Q&A and book signing. Dr. Newsome's incisive historical analysis coincides with UD's Marianist tradition of educating the whole person and connecting learning to leadership and service. His analysis of the gay liberation movement similarly aligns with the Fitz Center for Leadership in Community's mission of creating a more just and equitable future for the Dayton region. We hope you are able to join us!
