Dustin Scott
Dustin Scott is a Journalism student at MacEwan University and was struck by how little of this history he and the people around him knew. Dustin wanted to tell the history of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and make sure that it's not forgotten but that people also know how much of it shaped what Edmonton became. James Baldwin once said, "history isn't the story of our past, but instead it is the story of our present."
