GHS210: Freedom and Movement

Butler University

Mission Statement

Our mission in creating the website is to illustrate the history and plight of LGBTQ+ people in the United States of America from the beginning of the 20th century into the modern day. Considering the themes of freedom and movement addressed in our class, we found it important to address the victories and losses in the ongoing struggle for social and legal equality for the LGBTQ+ community.
