Rise Up: Stonewall and the LGBTQ Rights Movement is hugely popular national traveling exhibit created by the Newseum in Washington, D.C. that explores how the police raid of the Stonewall Inn in New York’s Greenwich Village in June 1969 became the spark that ignited the modern gay rights movement in the United States.

The Memphis Proud exhibit taps into the heart of the LGBTQ community in the Mid-South. The exhibit examines the history and culture of the city’s LGBTQ population and explores how LGBTQ Memphians of different backgrounds and experiences have come together.

This Sunday June 12th, we will be hosting Pride Day at MoSH in partnership with Mid-South Pride.  Guests can enjoy all the activities with a Museum Exhibits ticket from 12pm to 5pm.
