Driving the Change: A Conversation with Beau Chandler and Major Jiminez

TIME: 7 PM CT/8 PM ET | PLATFORM: Zoom | REGISTER: sforce.co/34gneJi

On July 5, 2012, Beau Chandler and Mark “Major” Jiminez went to the Dallas County Records Building with the goal of either obtaining a marriage license or getting arrested for trying. After being refused the license because they were a same sex couple, they sat on the floor of the office, handcuffed themselves together, and were arrested. Join the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum for a conversation with Major and Beau about their fight for marriage equality and the work that still needs to be done. The conversation will be moderated by Dr. Sara Abosch-Jacobson, Chief Education Officer at the Museum.

 

This program is part of the Museum's Permanent Exhibition Highlight Series.
