About This Event
Join author Meg Gorzycki for a signing of her new book, Remember the Main: The Gay Bar that Started a Movement in the Northland.
Remember the Main tells the story of a generation who found their cause and their community at Bob Jansens, The Main Club. Their activism bridged the gap between the relatively closeted culture of the 1950s and the open advocacy of the 1990s and 2000s. Although the 1969 Stonewall riots are a well-known turning point in the fight for equality, Remember the Main draws attention to a less dramatic but significant, sustained regional effort. Weaving together oral history, biography, and social critique, Meg Gorzycki chronicles the highs and lows of the local fight for human rights, legal protection, and health care for LGBTQ Americans.
Meg Gorzycki is a historian, educator, community organizer, and author. She brought Bob Jansen’s insights to her work in the San Francisco Bay Area, where she developed LGBTQ support groups, counseling services, and curricula. She lives in Plymouth, Minnesota.
Get your copy of the book signed and meet Meg Gorzycki. Books will be available for purchase.
