In May 2023, the Wisconsin LGBTQ History Project was approached by the staff of the County Board of Supervisors about creating an historical diplay in the main rotunda of the Milwaukee County Courthouse. We were honored to be asked and pleased to create a display.

The Milwaukee County Courthouse is a huge building, and although the display featured 10 different historical panels, along with accompanying Pride-colored 'fan flags' below each panel, the display was noticeable but still somewhat swallowed up in the expanse of the building. However the display will hopefully lead to future displays by the Project at other locations. (The only permanent location for History Project panels is in 'This Is It' bar downtown Milwaukee.)

The display in the Court House was made possible by a grant from the Cream City Foundation, a gift from 'This Is It' bar, and a donation by Supervisor Peter Burgelis.

The following panels were displayed in the Courthouse:

• Introductory panel
• Info panel about the Wisconsin LGBTQ History Project
• Story of the 'Black Nite Brawl, August 5, 1961' (perhaps the earliest documented LGBT uprising against harassment in the U.S.)
• 'First Annual Pride March & Rally, June 17, 1989'
• History of 'LGBT Pride Celebrations in Milwaukee', 2 panels
• 'Passing Gay Rights in Wisconsin'
• Info panel about the Cream City Foundation
• Info panel about the Brady East STD Clinic
• Bio of Joe Brehm, long-time owner of 'This Is It' bar (longest continually operating LGBT bar in Wisconsin)
