In recognition of the lasting impact of the 1969 Stonewall uprising by gay activists in New York City, the Newseum crafted “Rise Up: Stonewall and the LGBTQ Rights Movement,” an exhibition that explores the modern LGBTQ rights movement through the lens of the five First Amendment freedoms. The Newseum’s exhibit team, along with The Design Minds, worked through many challenges: How to ensure that the LGBTQ community is represented fairly? Is the exhibit inclusive, sensitive, and vibrant? Is it relevant and engaging for audiences of all ages?
