SUMMARY:Ann Arbor District Library's LGBTQ+ Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:This is an independent walking tour that can be done at any time. \nThe Ann Arbor District Library’s LGBTQ+ Walking Tour documents historical locations important to the queer community\, pulling from interviews with community members in podcasts like AADL’S Gayest Generation\, LGBTQ+ Washtenaw oral histories\, and other archival collections. We heard from community members about their favorite hangouts over the decades\, including bars\, bookstores\, and sites of political advancement for LGBTQ+ rights. This tour walks you through important locations\, some of which have changed over the years and may no longer exist. As you visit each stop\, consider the history made there\, the activism and community building taking place in Ann Arbor today\, and what you’d like our future to become.
