Join us at William Way LGBT Community Center on October 9 for a conversation with Judy and Dennis Shepard honoring the legacy of their son Matthew Shepard, whose untimely passing 25 years ago sparked significant change in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights. Community members are invited to hear The Shepards' story and participate in an open Q&A at this special event moderated by Ebony Ali, William Way board member and manager of the young adult leadership program at GALAEI, a QTBIPOC social justice organization. 

A Conversation with Judy & Dennis Shepard Honoring Matthew Shepard's Legacy in the LGBTQ+ Community & Beyond on October 9 is free and open to the public; advance registration is recommended.

This initiative is presented by the Mann in partnership with William Way LGBT Community Center. The Mann is proud to serve as a creative catalyst for civic, youth, and economic development that enriches the lives of our Parkside neighbors and the Greater Philadelphia region, fulfilling our non-profit mission.

We're honored to welcome Judy and Dennis Shepard to Philadelphia for this special engagement ahead of Considering Matthew Shepard at the Mann Center for the Performing Arts on October 10.
