Matthew Shepard was murdered in 1998. For being gay. For being who he was. 20 years later, his legacy lives on through his mother, Judy Shepard, who turned tragedy into a crusade for justice and established the mattshepardfdn. One week from today, Judy comes to RIC for an important #DiversityWeek conversation and panel discussion. She’ll offer an intimate look at how her life and the fight for equal rights changed when her son was killed. Hear her story next Thursday, Oct. 4 at noon in Roberts Hall Auditorium. riclgbtq ricpride riccampusevents naspa_rhodeisland
