Thursday Nights at the Museum: THE NATIONAL DAY OF SILENCE: LGBTQIA+ VOICES IN SCHOOLS

  • Missouri History Museum 5700 Lindell Boulevard St. Louis, MO, 63112 United States (map)

The National Day of Silence is an annual observance designed to spread awareness about the bullying, harassment, and silencing of individuals who identify as part of LGBTQIA+ communities in schools. Join us the day before the 2023 National Day of Silence to hear teachers and students share their own experiences. Rodney Wilson, the first public school teacher in Missouri to come out publicly in 1994, will share his story, then lead a conversation with current students who have spoken out for themselves and other LGBTQIA+ students.

This program is associated with Gateway to Pride, presented by the William A. Kerr Foundation and AARP St. Louis.
