When Josh Burford first arrived in the Queen City in late 2012 to begin working at University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNCC), even he, ambitious as he is, could not have predicted the impact he would have on the community.
Less than a year after his arrival, Burford, working with UNCC archivist Meredith Raiford, successfully launched The King-Henry-Brockington Community Archive to preserve and document Charlotte, N.C.’s queer history.
His tireless efforts earned him national headlines and the honor of qnotes 2014 Person of the Year
