Take part in shaping your community’s future. If you haven't already, make time to vote! We’re reminded of an important chapter in our city’s history that illustrates how local events and community involvement can shape a city’s future. Forty years ago, Mayor Wib Gulley’s support for LGBTQ+ rights became the center of an attempted mayoral recall. The events that followed brought together residents, faith leaders, local organizations, and community members with differing perspectives. This moment in Durham’s history helped shape the community we know today and contributed to the beginnings of Durham Pride. Our traveling exhibit, curated by Andrew Nurkin (@acnurkin), To Love and Live Free: The 1986 Mayoral Recall Fight and the Origins of Durham Pride, is now on view at North Regional Library, offering an opportunity to explore this important chapter in Durham's history. Contact us (manager@modh.org) if you’re interested in hosting the exhibit in your venue. #electionday #durham #durhamhistory #vote
