Who tells our histories and how? Author and historian Owen Keehnen moderates a discussion that explores the nonlinear story of LGBTQIA people in Chicago and beyond from eras during which little was recorded beside police records and lurid headlines. Hear from Ria Brodell, visual artist and author of Butch Heroes, and Jim Elledge, professor and author of The Boys of Fairy Town, about the unique challenges or researching pre-Stonewall history.
