The award-winning LEGACY PROJECT works to educate the LGBTQ youth and the general population about the many roles Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer people have played in the advancement of world history and culture.
Through its five principle assets…
• The mile-long “LEGACY WALK” – the only outdoor LGBTQ museum is the largest designated LGBTQ Historic Site in the world…
• The nationally acclaimed "LEGACY WALL" – the enormous, digitally interactive traveling installation currently touring the United States…
• The groundbreaking "LEGACY PROJECT EDUCATION INITIATIVE" – free, downloadable lesson plans, study guides, and resource links…
• The popular “LEGACY LIVE” programming series – lectures, panel discussions, film screenings, and live performances; and
• Our newest endeavor – “VIRTUAL LEGACY” – custom-crafted multimedia set pieces and webinar presentations
…the Legacy Project is challenging the historic redaction of LGBTQ achievements and the social marginalization that flows from it. This international and multicultural effort is driven by a core of historians, biographers, educators, youth advocates, social activists, and community and business leaders who share a commitment to ending the redaction of LGBTQ contributions from shared human history.
All the elements of the Legacy Project work in concert to reclaim the lives of people like Social Justice Advocate Jane Addams, Civil Rights pioneer Bayard Rustin, British mathematician Alan Turing, Astronaut Dr. Sally Ride, Composer Cole Porter, Poets Walt Whitman and Audre Lorde, Maestro Leonard Bernstein, acclaimed Author James Baldwin, Dance Superstars Alvin Ailey and Rudolf Nureyev, Transgender icons Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, and the immortal Tchaikovsky.
These extraordinary interactive assets have brought the “hidden history” of LGBTQ achievements to life for millions over the last ten years. In all the world, there is nothing quite like Chicago’s Legacy Project.
