Strength Through Visibility | Free Documentary Screening

In 2001, a small group of residents were denied a grant to put on the first LGBTQ Pride Festival in Jersey City. Strength Through Visibility exposes the fragility of progress and the ongoing work that continues to be done, as the festival now celebrates its 25th anniversary.

Join us for a free screening of the documentary followed by Talk Back featuring documentary stars and Jersey City LGBTQ+ community advocates:

  • Catherine Hecht
  • Beth Achenbach
  • Eddie Baez
  • Joseph Cameron
  • Pat Byrne
  • Donald Gallagher
  • Harmonica Sunbeam

The event is produced in collaboration between HCCC's Office of Student Life and Leadership and the Jersey City Landmarks Conservancy, and with support by Jersey City Pride Festival and the City of Jersey City Office of Cultural Affairs.

Refreshments sponsored by and special thanks to our Jersey City Pride month programming sponsor, MMD Shops!
