PRIDE in Print

Posted on by Abigail Seaver Caraveo

Archive Activism is featured in an exciting exhibition of books and queer Dallas/Fort Worth memorabilia entitled “PRIDE in Print” at the Dallas Public Library.   As the Republican Texas legislature continues its assault on Texas libraries, especially in small towns, librarians are truly on the front lines.  I love the Dallas Public Library for doing this and including me. The exhibition is set to run throughout the summer.
