On May 29, the Orange County Regional History Center marked the fifth anniversary of Pulse with the opening of
Community: Five Years After the Pulse Tragedy. The multimedia exhibition tells the story of the tragic events and aftermath of June 12, 2016, plus the powerful stories of the club and the lives that were lost there. The exhibition includes video from families and loved ones of the Pulse victims, tokens and tributes from memorials and marches, and even the white piano from inside the nightclub. The stories presented are cathartic and compassionate all at once, and a powerful exercise in living history.
Orlando Weekly spoke to History Center Executive Director and curator Pamela Schwartz about the work that went into this exhibit, reactions to it and the concept of community in post-Pulse Orlando.

ORLANDO Some nights, on his long drive home, he conjures up reasons to see the nightclub again.
It’s past midnight, usually, when he leaves work and pulls off at the Kaley Street exit. He drives past the blue hospital signs, past the dusty warehouse district where a museum is slated to rise. He makes a right turn onto South Orange Avenue, toward the stark black sign.
