Always Matt: A Tribute to Matthew Shepard

ALWAYS MATT: A TRIBUTE TO MATTHEW SHEPARD pays homage to Matthew Shepard's life and legacy. In 1998, Matt was a student at the University of Wyoming who was brutally murdered simply because he was gay. Author Lesléa Newman was the Keynote Speaker for Gay Awareness Week at his school that year, and arrived on campus the day he died. Before Matt was a headline, he was a person who loved and was loved by many, who had hopes and dreams and plans to make the world a better place. This book amplifies his story and the work of people who work for social justice in his memory.
