Photo Gallery: Athens PRIDE Festival
With Hurricane Irma looming, hundreds of people still turned out for the annual Athens PRIDE Festival—the culmination of PRIDE Week—featuring music, speakers, local businesses and political groups, and a drag show. Flagpole photo intern Jessica Silverman documented the scene.
The event also included a tribute to the transgender Americans who have been murdered in the past year, including 17-year-old Ava Le'Ray Barron, an Atlanta trans woman who was shot and killed in Athens in July.
