Join us as historian Dr. W. 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 a Q&A and a book signing. This event is sponsored by the Georgia Humanities as part of the Lela B. Phillips Arts and Lectures Series.
Dr. W. Jake Newsome will speak on Monday, January 30, 2023, at 7 pm at Pitts Library on the campus of Andrew College. Learn more about the Pink Triangle Legacies from the former Cuthbert, GA, resident. Complete the registration form below.
