Today marks the ANNIVERSARY of a landmark moment in Durham’s history.

In June 1986, Mayor Wilbur P. Gulley proclaimed Anti-Discrimination Week, affirming that every person deserves dignity, safety, and freedom from discrimination. The document reflects an early municipal effort in the 1980s to publicly oppose discrimination against LGBTQ+ people, at a time when such protections and public endorsements were not very common in many parts of the United States. Four decades later, that message remains as important as ever. 🏳️‍🌈✨ #DurhamHistory #LGBTQHistory #AntiDiscriminationWeek #Pride #EqualityForAll
