Remarks by Steven Louis Brawley at the June 7 opening event for the Gateway to Pride exhibiiton at the Missouri History Museum:
When I began my journey with the creation of the History Undertaking in , I knew there was a void.
But - I had no idea how big the void was.
How much of our history was:
• Hidden
• Lost
• Ignored
• Filtered
• And thrown away, yes thrown away!
Tonight, I stand before you and humbly tell those days are over! History once lost - is NOW found! We ARE St. Louis!

Since I have fearlessly championed the need for the preservation and promotion of our LGBTQIA+ legacy.
So many of you have joined me in this ha
