Legacy Walk, LGBTQ history collection at North Halsted Street in Chicago, United States
The Legacy Walk stretches for half a mile along North Halsted Street with ten pairs of 25-foot steel Rainbow Pylons displaying bronze biographical markers.
The project originated at the National March on Washington for GLBT Civil Rights in 1987, influenced by the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt.
The collection features forty bronze memorials celebrating LGBTQ individuals from various fields whose contributions were previously underrepresented in historical records.
New memorials are installed annually during National Coming Out Day on October 11, while older plaques rotate out to maintain the collection's capacity.
The installation represents the largest assembly of detailed bronze biographical memorials dedicated to LGBTQ achievements in an outdoor museum setting.
