Movements in Queer Mississippi

This exhibition was curated by students in HST/SOC 596 (Queer Mississippi) in Fall 2022. Students used materials from UM Archives and Special Collections, visible in display cases and on the walls, to tell the story of Mississippi's queer past and present, and to spark conversations about the future of Mississippi's queer community.

Topics include:

• Focus on LGBTQ+ communities in larger southern cities: Atlanta, Memphis, New Orleans
• Performance
• Religion
• Visibility and Discretion
