David sits down with acclaimed local historian and author Maryjean Wall to talk about her latest book, She’s the Mother of Us All: Sweet Evening Breeze and the Queer Community of Lexington Kentucky. They discuss Sweet Evening Breeze’s influence on Lexington, Kentucky, and how she challenged conventional ideas of who could access and wield power in midcentury Lexington. They also talk about Lexington’s rich queer history, centering especially on the building now known as the Bar Complex. Maryjean’s book is available for checkout from the library, and for purchase from your favorite bookstore.
