Matt Shepard is a Friend of Mine

16 years ago

16 years ago today, on the night of October 6, 1998, our dear friend Matthew Shepard was kidnapped and tortured in one of the most vicious and notorious hate crimes in U.S. history. Never regaining consciousness, Matthew succumbed to the severe injuries from the attack and died on October 12, 1998.

From October 6-12th, we will honor Matt and all victims of hate by sharing special photos, videos, and other remembrances on our Facebook page, Twitter, website, etc. This week, please continue to check this space & the Matthew Shepard Foundation page and support our online efforts to #RememberMatt and #EraseHate.

With much love & gratitude,
The Matt Shepard Is a Friend of Mine team
