In 1966, a group of drag-queen prostitutes in San Francisco retaliated against police harassment and launched an ongoing movement for transgender rights and freedom of gender expression. Activist and expert Susan Stryker looks at the history of transgender activism in Chicago and throughout the nation.

In advance of this program, you are invited to attend a film screening of Screaming Queens on May 4 - for more infomation, visit the Chicago History Museum.
