In this 6 week lecture series we will be discussing the lives, accomplishments and pathways towards independence of 6 African Americans: Ona Judge, the entrepreneurship of The Pepper Pot Women Street Vendors, writer and activist Francis E. W. Harper, silhouette artist and gallerist Moses Williams and baker and community leader Cyrus Bustill. Each person has carved out and defined their own way to independence, autonomy, personhood and economics during a time in Philadelphia where barriers and bias for African Americans were many, despite being one of the first states to abolish slavery and being a northern state. This lecture series is perfect for those interested in learning more about the narratives of African Americans in Philadelphia that have embodied the essence of what Independence means as we come into our 250 Anniversary of the United States and especially in Philadelphia.

The Welcome Project PA is 
excited to welcome Dr. Lucas F.W. Wilson to lead a presentation and 
conversation about his book Shame-Sex Attraction, to discuss the harmful
 effects of conversion therapy, and to learn how to be better informed 
and supportive of LGBT+ individuals.&nbsp;
This will be a timely discussion, because as of&nbsp;March
 31, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court [8-1] overturned Colorado's 2019 law 
banning conversion therapy for minors, ruling it violated counselors' 
First Amendment free speech rights.&nbsp;
So join us for this important evening of learning, dialogue, and solidarity.
PAY-AS-YOU-WISH
 Tickets: in the registration you will have the option to donate. All 
proceeds from this event will go to support our intersectional work with
 LGBT+ and Immigrant communities.Thank you for Widening the Welcome!!Register here:&nbsp;<a href="https://wl.donorperfect.net/weblink/WebLink.aspx?name=E357288&amp;id=86" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">wl.donorperfect.net/weblink/WebLink.aspx?name=E357288&amp;id=86</a>
