WashU is proud to present Thursday Nights at the Museum, a weekly series featuring thought-provoking programming, extended museum hours and activities.

In 1994, Missouri high school history teacher Rodney Wilson founded LGBT History Month, a concept that has spread across the globe and now celebrated by more than 20 countries at various times throughout the year. This event celebrates the global influence of of Wilson’s efforts on the 30th anniversary of the very first LGBT History Month. Wilson will kick off the program with a short presentation, followed by a conversation with representatives from around the world, who will join us virtually to share stories of their own country’s celebrations.
