The Chicago Public Library continues its “Celebrating Diversity” series in June with the observance of LGBT Pride Month, an annual celebration of the culture, contributions and traditions of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Americans. As part of this year’s observance, the Library presents an informative series of films and events on selective LGBT topics.

Cosponsored by the Library’s Pride Month Committee, a June Special Event features a screening and discussion of the POV documentary film, Out in the Night, by Blair Dorosh-Walther. The award-winning film spotlights the sensational 2006 trial of four African American lesbians in New York City, revealing the role that race, gender identity and sexuality play in our criminal justice system. This event is a collaboration with the award-winning documentary series POV; and co-production of ITVS and the National Black Programming Consortium (NBPC). The program takes place on Monday, June 15 at 6:30 p.m., at the Avalon Branch, 8148 S. Stony Island Ave., (312) 747-5234).
