Learn about the story of Christopher Street Detroit ’72, the first-ever LGBTQ+ pride celebration in Michigan held over 50 years ago, through a full-color, nonfiction comic book by freelance illustrator Isabel Clare Paul and historian Tim Retzloff. 

"Come Out! In Detroit" was created using eyewitness primary sources, oral histories, and a cache of largely unseen photographs. This exhibition features enlarged prints of the comic book cover and pages. Explore this historic event through the colorful lens of the comic.

Join us for a closing event on Sunday, September 7, featuring creators Clare Paul and Tim Retzloff!
