DAVENPORT, Iowa The Metropolitan Community Church wants to document local LGBTQ+ history, and they want to begin by sitting down with members of the community.
Throughout the next year, leaders with MCC QC hope to interview anyone in the queer community in the Quad Cities. The idea is to first capture the folks who are elderly these days, before their stories pass with them, Rev. Rich Hendricks says. But we want a wide variety and diversity of voices, whether from the African-American community, Hispanic community, transgender, lesbian, gay and bisexual all of that is part of who we are and our history.

MACOMB As the attention on racial justice became one of the main focuses across the United States this summer, a bipartisan organization focused on racial justice and equality came to Macomb in November.
The organization, One Human Family got started in the Macomb community with their police body cameras campaign that raised enough money to purchase body cameras for the Macomb Police Department.
One Human Family is hosting a free Webinar on Wednesday, Dec. 16 at 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. entitled “The White Power Movement and Paramilitary America” that will focus on educating those who attend about the white power movement and what people can do to in their local communities to combat it.
