The Iowa City exhibit begins in 1967 with The Iowa Defender<\/em> publishing an article on lesbianism in Iowa City and ends in 2010 with The Iowa City Press-Citizen<\/em> naming a lesbian couple (Dawn and Jen BarbouRoske) as “Persons of the Year” for their role in challenging Iowa’s defense of marriage law and ushering in same sex marriage in Iowa in 2009. According to OutHistory.org, the exhibits are meant to be “works in progress” that continue to chronicle important events.<\/p>\n
