Let’s Talk Race Program Series from Richland Library
Thurs., May 26 from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m.
The State Museum is partnering with Richland Library’s Let’s Talk Race program and Historic Columbia to have a community discussion about the Candy Shop nightclub and the intersection of bias across race, gender expression and sexuality. The Candy Shop welcomed the LGBTQ community throughout the 1990s and several famous female impersonators performed on its stage. Historic Columbia Director of Research Katharine Allen will lead a panel discussion with those who attended the club as well as performers. This program is being presented in conjunction with the museum’s upcoming exhibition, The Bias Inside Us.
The program is free, but online RSVPs are encouraged as capacity is limited. Questions? Contact joann.zeise@scmuseum.org
