The exhibit will feature rare photographic images taken by Jim Pfaff, Jim Andris, Judy Napier, and Wilbur Wegener. Other artifacts will include a 1980 Pride t-shirt, along with original paperwork and marketing materials. Several members of the 1980 Pride Committee will be featured in this year's Pride Parade.
