To mark the opening of its new exhibit, “Rise Up: Stonewall and the Gay Rights Movement,” the Newseum presents an evening featuring Alan Cumming, an award-winning actor, singer producer, director and activist.
Cumming will discuss the impact of Stonewall 50 years later, his own social activism and what issues that still face the LGBTQ community. He will also talk about the role of popular culture in the modern gay rights movement and provide an overview of his career.
Ari Shapiro, co-host of NPR’s “All Things Considered,” will moderate the conversation.
Through a partnership with the Newseum and the Hamilton Hotel in Washington, D.C., Cumming will curate a signature suite related to Stonewall.
Presented by Wells Fargo.
