On view in the McClung's new Community Gallery, this exhibition honors 54 people lost to gun violence. Forty-nine of them died when a gunman opened fire in the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, Florida on June 12, 2016. Five others were killed during a shooting at Club Q in Colorado Springs, Colorado on November 19, 2022. We are honoring these particular individuals during Pride Month because they were targeted for being at places that serve LGBTQ+ people.

Presented in collaboration with UT’s Multicultural Student Life and the Pride Center. Funding for the McClung Museum’s educational programming has been provided by the Knox County Tourism Consortium.
