In 1994, the first LGBT History Month – then called Gay History Month – was celebrated with backing from prominent LGBT advocacy groups. Rodney Wilson founded the commemorative month while finishing grad school at University of Missouri-St. Louis. He also made another mark on history that year as the first openly gay K-12 teacher in Missouri. On the 30th anniversary of LGBT History Month, Wilson sat down with Danny Wicentowski to reflect on his impact as a history teacher in Missouri and abroad.
