Lambda Network members, including Emily Jones on left and Pam Barres on rights, prepare to march in the 2002 Pride Parade in Rochester. The buildings on the float represent major Kodak facilities including the smokestacks of Kodak Park, Building 23, Building 28 (now Theater on the Ridge) and Kodak Tower, the widows of which were made from pieces of film. Lambda won the Stonewall Award from the Gay Alliance of the Genessee Valley for the not-for-profit group that most imaginatively depicts the year's parade theme in the Rochester Pride Parade for this float.
Join Lambda Network at Kodak leaders Emily Jones and Dan Sapper in a discussion moderated by RIT historian and curator Tamar W. Carroll about the history and legacy of this pioneering Rochester-based LGBTQ employee resource group. In the 1990s and 2000s, Lambda transformed Kodak's corporate culture to be more inclusive and won domestic partner and adoption benefits. Jones and Sapper will reflect on the strategies that made Lambda successful, including its use of portrait photography of same-sex couples, and reflect on the importance of valuing diversity in the workplace.
FREE to all
The exhibition Picturing Equality: The Lambda Network at Kodak will be open for viewing following the panel conversation.
