“The Things We Tell Our Children: A Look at LGBT+ in Children’s Animation” by Christal Hazelton will be presented on Tuesday, April 17 from 12-1 p.m. at the CTIHB building in the Jewel Box, Room 143.

The event is open to the public and a light lunch will be provided. Seating is limited and is on a first come first served basis. The talk is 40 minutes with a 20 minute Q&A.
