“Lavender Los Angeles: The Making of our pre-Stonewall LGBT Movement” is a visually engaging exhibit running for two weeks from November 7-20th in Downtown LA, by Roots of Equality, an LGBT cultural activist group. The mission of this exhibit is to uncover our city’s unsung LGBT history, to connect the experiences of the past to the aspirations of the future, and to highlight those who pioneered our progress.

“Lavender Los Angeles” will run at The Exchange in Downtown LA at 114 W. 5th St. (map) in the heart of the historic gay ghetto from November 8th through the 20th. The exhibit will also host the Art Walk, panel discussions, speakers, and themed evenings.

Information about the location of the exhibit, the gallery open times, and parking are all available at the Roots of Equality website.
