After years promoting LGBTQ contributions to world history and culture, the Legacy Walk Rainbow Pylon Streetscape was officially designated the largest LGBTQ Historic Landmark on earth! A few short weeks later, LGBTQ-Inclusive Curriculum Bill (HB246), co-written by the Legacy Project, became Illinois law! These two groundbreaking achievements have catapulted the Legacy Project – a small, volunteer-driven charity – into the pantheon of LGBTQ History itself!
