Pride at 50: From Stonewall to Today

June 2020 marks the 50th anniversary of annual LGBTQ+ Pride traditions in the United States. The first Pride march was held in New York on June 28, 1970, on the first anniversary of the Stonewall uprising. More information about the start of the Pride marches in the U.S. is available from the Library of Congress, including this short 1970 documentary by Lilli Vincenz about the Christopher Street Liberation Day Parade.
