Governor Tony Evers (D-Wis.) has proclaimed Black Nite Remembrance Day throughout Wisconsin on the anniversary of that August 5, 1961 night. It is the first official recognition of the historic event by any civic entity. Partnering to make the remembrance day happen are Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley, Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, first out city councilmember Ald. JoCasta Zamarripa, the county board of supervisors, and the city council. But the commemoration was a long time coming, with the advocacy of Wisconsin LGBTQ historians and activists Michail Takach and Don Schwamb of the Wisconsin LGBTQ History Project.
