Hello Students,
June marks start of Pride LGBTQIA+ Month.  Pride Month first began in 1970 in honor of “the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan” (https://www.loc.gov/lgbt-pride-month/about/).   Then in 1994 President Bill Clinton renamed Pride Month to Gay and Lesbian Pride Month.  And in 2009 President Barack Obama Administration changed the title of the month again to make in more inclusive and he changed it to LGBT Pride Month.  Lastly, in 2021 President Joseph Biden signed a declaration to officially rename LGBT Pride Month to LGBTQIA+ Pride Month. 
 
Please visit our NC Library Moodle Course to review articles, videos, upcoming events (both in person and virtually) and test your knowledge of what you learned.
Also stop by the Library to review the books, we have curated some books to help celebrate Pride LGBTQIA+ Month Month that you can check out with your digital student id.
