Vernita Gray was an African American gay and civil rights leader who hailed from the South Side district of Chicago. During her life, she struggled for equal rights not only for African American women, but for abused women, the LGBTQ community, the poor, and eventually for legal same-sex marriage rights. This tribute was put together by two of her closest friends, and includes memorabilia in several forms throughout.
