Known as LGBTQ+ Pride Month, the festivities recognize the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan when groups in support of gay rights protested for several days. This sparked a movement in the United States and across the world. Now, events such as parades workshops, concerts, educational speeches and gatherings fill the month&#8217;s calendar.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thanks to the generosity of Carolina Pride Alum Network members, a digital exhibit has opened at UNC Libraries.
