"Building a Movement in the Southeast" highlights the close relationship between our LGBTQ+ collections and our collections that document the history of Atlanta and social justice movements.

This exhibit explores the history, culture, politics, and public health initiatives of LGBTQ+ communities in Atlanta and the American South. It features letters, journals, photographs, and concert and theater programs from the personal papers of activists and artists, the records and publications of cultural and community organizations, and rare books and periodicals published by and for the LGBTQ+ community.
