Main Street - First Floor, Mozart's GroveThe Beacons of Brew City Traveling Exhibit honors eight living LGBTQ elders who have made significant lifetime contributions to Metro Milwaukee.
The Beacons of Brew City honors eight living LGBTQ elders who have made significant lifetime contributions to Metro Milwaukee. This exhibit honors entertainers, organizers, philanthropists, business owners, faith leaders, healthcare advocates, chefs, culture keepers, storytellers, and public servants who have supported critical LGBTQ causes, events, and organizations for decades -- often as unsung heroes who didn't expect or receive recognition of any kind.
The Beacons of Brew City project is dedicated to Milwaukee pioneer Eldon Murray (1930-2007,) who used his privilege to foster the formation, mobilization, and advancement of the LGBTQ community for over four decades. Almost every LGBTQ organization that exists in Milwaukee today can trace its roots back to Eldon Murray's trailblazing leadership.
This exhibit is made possible by the Wisconsin LGBTQ History Project.
