Alta Magazine & Books Inc. Present ERIC ROSSWOOD & KATHLEEN ARCHAMBEAU at Alameda
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Alta Magazine & Books Inc. present activists and award-winning authors Eric Rosswood and Kathleen Archambeau for a discussion of their inspirational collaborative work, We Make It Better: The LGBTQ Community and Their Positive Contributions to Society.
LGBT history is as old as history itself. In that time, LGBT people have positively impacted their communities, made advancements for society, and changed the world! We Make It Better profiles all the people, places, and events that show just how awesome and inspiring the LGBT community is.
A stirring look at LGBT history: LGBT people have always played important roles in society. They have served their country, served in office, pushed for the protection of human rights, and have impacted all fields of study, sport, art and industry. We Make It Better offers biographies of some of the most famous thinkers and changers in history from Bayard Rustin, Alan Turing, Dr. Sally Ride, and Oscar Wilde to present day innovators and world changers such as Billie Jean King, Jason Collins, Ellen DeGeneres, Tim Cook, the Wachowski sisters, Sir Ian McKellen and more.
Positivity for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youth and adults: But, more than a "who's who" of LGBT history, We Make It Better is also a vibrant chronicle of the events in history where the LGBT community came together to fight for equality and to save lives. Learn how the community came together during the HIV/AIDs crisis, fought for marriage equality, protested discrimination, and pushed for progressive change throughout the years. Places and cultures important to the LGBT community are also proudly profiled. Learn about the events, places, people, and beliefs that are all causes for pride and celebration.
Readers will:
Discover important LGBT people that have changed the world
Be moved by the accomplishments of the LGBT community
Be inspired by a mix of biographies, history and quotes
An inspiring record of LGBT history for everyone!
