Join the LGBTQ+ History Association for this Pride Month event featuring three writers whose work explores Detroit’s queer histories. Curtis Chin will read from his memoir, Everything I Learned, I Learned in a Chinese Restaurant, which explores his experiences as a gay Chinese American child growing up in the Motor City during the 1980s. Mix Mann will present their research on the life of the Detroit-based Black lesbian activist Ruth Ellis, and Tim Retzloff will read from Come Out! In Detroit, a non-fiction comic book he co-created to tell the story of Michigan’s first pride celebration held in 1972.
This event includes a signing with books for sale.
This event is in partnership with the LGBTQ+ History Association. This event is made possible in part by a grant from Michigan Humanities, an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
