Library of Congress- The History of Pride

By Meg Metcalf, Women's, Gender, & LGBTQ+ Studies Librarian, Researcher and Reference Services Division, Library of Congress.

On June 28, 1970, on the one year anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising, the first Pride marches were held in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. Thousands of LGBT+ people gathered to commemorate Stonewall and demonstrate for equal rights. The events of Stonewall and the liberation movements that followed were a direct result of prior decades of LGBT+ activism and organizing.

Since June 1970, LGBTQ+ people have continued to gather together in June to march with Pride. Learn more about the pioneering gay rights activists who created Pride by exploring the LGBTQ+ Collections at the Library of Congress.:

The Bee Club has been feeding the bees and are learning how to manage hives. Students have been using the smoker, feeding the bees and have begun learning how to identify different cells and potential problems within a bee colony.

Students from the fishing club have been hitting the river every week and have ventured out in the canoes also. Thank you to NRM for letting us borrow the gear.
