Pride: Secret Codes, Darkened Windows -- Hidden History of Raleigh’s LGBTQIA+ Community

Pride Series

About This Event

Decades ago, it was common for LGBTQIA+ spaces to be pushed to the edges of a city – many with darkened windows so no one could see inside. In some cases, secret codes were used to signal ‘this place is safe.’

Today, you likely walk past some of those historically important places with no idea the significant role they played. To keep those stories from being lost, historian Heather Leah provides a virtual look at the sites, struggles and triumphs that built the 1970’s, 80’s and 90’s foundation of Raleigh’s LGBTQIA+ community.
