Title A name given to the resource David Aiken Papers (Series II) Description An account of the resource The collection includes many drafts of articles he had written on the issues confronting the LGBT community of the time. They are rough drafts, with typographical errors, handwritten notes and corrections, and numerous rewrites. They are also an important source for the events and issues of the period. His files also contain primary documents, leaflets, and notes of interviews connected with the articles he wrote. Aiken, a local gay activist, member at one time of the Gay Liberation Front and a resident of GLF House (1620 St St. NW), Washington correspondent for The Advocate, was also a member of the Stonewall Nation Media Collective which broadcast the Friends radio show on WGBT and WPFW radio for nine years. His broadcasts on Friends seem to have complemented many of the stories on which he worked. In the mid-Seventies, he chaired the Washington Area Gay Community Council. He also served as a founder of Black and White Men Together's DC chapter and edited its newsletter. The Aiken Articles David Aiken's drafts of articles he submitted to the Advocate and other publications in the 1970s document many of the local and national issues confronting the LGBTQ community of the period. As such, they are an important resource of people, events, and issues for students and researchers. The collection contains Aiken's handwritten interview notes as well. The draft articles are listed below by topic. <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vR7ZGpQXij9EKhAxYVXnkL-5pIo-T66TtXIxK1Zm_fNsBg4nhoimqkQupb3X0CFM1-Frn-mwtBLMuO4/pub" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">VIEW ONLINE FINDING AID</a> Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Aiken, David L.

The previous two years, gays and lesbians had gone to New York City to celebrate the Stonewall anniversary. In the winter of 1972, the Gay Liberation Front-DC proposed a local celebration, though they scheduled it a month and half before New York's celebration so that people would not have to choose between the events. DC's initial Pride celebration was as much a protest as a celebration, following almost exactly one year after Gay Mayday and the anti-war Mayday demonstrations had closed the streets of the city. This marked the first public celebration of gay and lesbian pride in Washington DC. Organized by the Gay Liberation Front, the festival drew support from All Souls Church, the Community Bookshop, the Gay Activists Alliance, the Gay People's Alliance of George Washington University, Henry Street (one of the houses of the Awards Club, a local drag organization) and the Metropole Cinema. The principal organizers were Chuck Hall, Bruce Pennington, and Cade Ware. This collection includes materials from Gay Pride, Capital Pride, DC Black Pride, and other Pride-related festivals and events.

The second National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights took place October 11, 1987, with an estimated half million participants. Protest issues included the government’s slow response to AIDS and the Supreme Court’s 1986 decision to uphold sodomy laws in the Bowers v. Hardwick case. In a foreshadowing of later protests, the day before the historic March, an estimated 2,000 Gay and Lesbian couples exchanged marriage vows in front of the Internal Revenue Service building. After the March, more than 600 protesters were arrested at the U.S. Supreme Court protesting the 1986 Hardwick Decision, making it the largest act of civil disobedience since the anti-Vietnam War demonstrations. Organizations formed as a result of the 1987 March included the National Latina/o Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Organization (LLEGO), the first national group for Latinas and Latinos, BiNet U.S.A. for Bisexuals. National Coming Out Day continues to be marked on October 11th, the anniversary of the 1987 March on Washington. https://archives.rainbowhistory.org/files/original/6c659109203ddc1b2452f3db2104ff5d.pdf 79d6ba075dad80cea9e8c8f456ed9a1e Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

They are rough drafts, with typographical errors, handwritten notes and corrections, and numerous rewrites. They are also an important source for the events and issues of the period. His files also contain primary documents, leaflets, and notes of interviews connected with the articles he wrote. Aiken, a local gay activist, member at one time of the Gay Liberation Front and a resident of GLF House (1620 St St. NW), Washington correspondent for The Advocate, was also a member of the Stonewall Nation Media Collective which broadcast the Friends radio show on WGBT and WPFW radio for nine years. His broadcasts on Friends seem to have complemented many of the stories on which he worked. In the mid-Seventies, he chaired the Washington Area Gay Community Council. He also served as a founder of Black and White Men Together's DC chapter and edited its newsletter. The Aiken Articles David Aiken's drafts of articles he submitted to the Advocate and other publications in the 1970s document many of the local and national issues confronting the LGBTQ community of the period.

The following is a full and complete statement to the best of my knowledge, based upon my experiences and observations during my employment with the Grand Central Bar and Restaurant as bartender. 2. During the months of November and December, 1974 and January, 197 5, I was employed by the Grand Central Bar and restaurant as a bartender. I was hired by Raul Frias who was at that time one of several employees in managerial positions. My immediate superior who supervised my bartending duties was Joe Fiume. 3. Others in managerial positions during my employment were George Dotson, who oversaw the detail work of many of the employees, and Glen Thompson, George Dotson's superior, who had responsibility for the general operations of the entire restaurant and bar. Although generally Mr. Thompson did not supervise details, frequently I observed him overseeing the functions of the doormen. Most of the employees, including myself, had heard that Mr. Thompson was owner of the establishment; in fact, he was often referred to as "Mr. Grand Central". 4. As bartender I was never directed to check identification of any patrons requesting alcoholic beverages. Rather, I was directed to serve all patrons requesting such beverages regardless of how old they appeared. I assumed from these directions that all patrons permitted to enter the Grand Central were 21 or older or allowed in by the management. 5. On several occassions I heard the following remarks made by some of the waiters: "There sure were a lot of niggers here tonight!"; "The crowd is getting too black here!" 6. Members of the management frequently agreed with the perceptions of the waiters. Specifically, I recall George Dotson using the term "nigger" when describing some of the black patrons at the Grand Central. 7. One evening of the second week of November 1974, I heard Glen Thompson use the term "Black Drag Queens" in a contemptuous way. I was later informed by other employees that the police had been called in earlier when 5 black patrons had become unruly because they had been denied admission. While tending bar later in the evening, a black patron approached the bar and requested a glass of page two water. Although bartenders should charge for water, it was the common practice of all the bartenders not to do so. The management was aware of this practice and rarely - showed any concern. I therefore gave the black patron the glass of water that he had requested free of charge. 8. Glen Thompson, who had observed this transaction, came over to me at the bar and said, "When a customer like that comes to the bar and asks for water, charge him $1.00." I responded, "A customer like what?" He answered pointing to some black patrons, "Any of those niggers!" I told him that it wasn't my job to discriminate and that I would not be an agent of his discrimination. 9. Later that night, around closing time, a meeting was called by Glen Thompson; all employees, without exception, were required to attend. Approximately 40 people gathered for the meeting, 20 of whom I recognized as employees I was surprised at the large number of unfamiliar faces present. Glen Thompson informed the gathered group that the bar was having trouble with the "niggers" and that it would be necessary to toughen up the policy at the door. He claimed that the "niggers" made the bar unsafe. He told everyone to come the following night "prepared to fight if necessary." We were all encouraged to bring frineds who could assist Mr. Thompson by acting as informal bouncers. Each friend' of an employee who would come to help, Glen Thompson continued, would receive free drinks from the bar. 10. I had never witnessed any violent or disorderly blacks during the course of my employment. I saw no reason to exclude blacks from the bar, particularly on the grounds that they made the bar unsafe. The black patrons who frequented the Grand Central were certainly no more unruly than'the white patrons. 11. The following night there was great tension among the employees. George Dotson called an informal meeting of of all the bartenders. He informed us that if a person came to the bar and said that they were here to help out Glen, we were to give them free drinks. 12. During the evening Glen Thompson spent most of his time supervising the doormen. There were certainly fewer blacks in the bar that night and I noticed that from that night on until around the third week in January 1975, when I quit, fewer and fewer blacks were ever seen inside the bar. I, Jeff Blake, being duly sworn, depose and say: that I have read the foregoing statement (numbered 1 through 12) and know the contents thereof; that the same is true of my page three own knowledge, except as to matters therein stated on -information and belief; and that as to these matters I believe the same to be true.

Title A name given to the resource David Aiken Papers (Series II) Description An account of the resource The collection includes many drafts of articles he had written on the issues confronting the LGBT community of the time. They are rough drafts, with typographical errors, handwritten notes and corrections, and numerous rewrites. They are also an important source for the events and issues of the period. His files also contain primary documents, leaflets, and notes of interviews connected with the articles he wrote. Aiken, a local gay activist, member at one time of the Gay Liberation Front and a resident of GLF House (1620 St St. NW), Washington correspondent for The Advocate, was also a member of the Stonewall Nation Media Collective which broadcast the Friends radio show on WGBT and WPFW radio for nine years. His broadcasts on Friends seem to have complemented many of the stories on which he worked. In the mid-Seventies, he chaired the Washington Area Gay Community Council. He also served as a founder of Black and White Men Together's DC chapter and edited its newsletter. The Aiken Articles David Aiken's drafts of articles he submitted to the Advocate and other publications in the 1970s document many of the local and national issues confronting the LGBTQ community of the period. As such, they are an important resource of people, events, and issues for students and researchers. The collection contains Aiken's handwritten interview notes as well.

A black customer came up to the bar and asked for a glass or water. Evan though bar tenders had been told to charge for water, none ever did, and the management "rarely showed any concern," according to Blake. Blake said, "but on this occasion, the manager of the bar "came over to me at the bar and said, 'When a customer like that comes to the bar and asks for water, charge him a dollar.'" I responded, 'A customer like what?' He answered, pointing to some black patrons, 'Any of those niggers.'" That same month, Patricia Price, a 26 white woman who was then 28 years old, entered the Grand Central with a friend, a black woman aged 36. According to Patrice, the doorman waved through batches of white men without asking for any type of identification card. But when Patrice and her friend reached the doorman, he demanded to see ID, then refused to accept drivers licenses and employment ID cards, with photos, from either woman. The women were turned away. A few months earlier, Charles Hall had gone to the same bar in the company of black friends. They were required to pay $3 each as a minimum to gain entrance, -"While standing near the entrance, however, they saw white men enter without being asked either for ID or for $3. Only blacks, or wihite persons accompanied by black persons, had to do so. add one discrim These three nay people ware witnesses — and In same cases victims — of a probleuB that has confronted tiia gay community in marc places than just one bar in one city. Despite xsmt progress in recent years toward equality for black people and for women, and doapite recognition by many gay people that they are not likay to achieve full equality until blolcs and women do, discrimination continuoe to exist within the cay comri'nity • A number of institutions that are important to gay sociial l i f e , euch as tine bar3, are ^.dde open to white mon but place scats type °* hurdle in the path of MacriexiecHEXK white women and black peopleof both genders. m he hurdles may be high and difficult, or low and merely minor annoyances5 they may be blatant, or , in most cases, subtle* But-auric$mrri I mtxaodaii &djtjqMiBM3BffdP*3gnrt^n;Maaa in several places Such barriers do not exist everywhere, of course, ^hit/where they have / jbs become evident, gay peoplehave attempted to eliminate them. In the case of the disco in 'Washington, gay people used the same mechanism to fight a cay bar's dadscrimination axgainst blacks and women as they £ have used to coribat discrimination by atraight establishments against gays. xhirty-one gay people filed conpliaints against the Grant Central with tha D.C.

Varying amounts wore awarded in three categories: compensation for denial of access to a p-ubiic accommodationj compensation for "embarrassment and humiliation," and attorney1 a fees for those who had hired a lawyer torepresont them before the commission. I t r,iay be awhile before the eight people collect any money! the and apparently- dissolved* corporation tiiat owned the '"'rand ucntral has Bold i t s intgrost in i t/ ifore legal proceedings are in prospect. But many of the persons who filed aonplaints think the effort wis worth i t. Patricia Price, for example, h points out that the evidence XSB£ collected by the Human lights Office was used by the J3«C. Alcoholic leverage Conjftrol (ABC) C aeries ion in suspending tie ^rand Central's liquor license for 50 days last year. That action, followed by reported, problems with tax a u t h o r i t i e s , apparently led to the bar's demise. Gay attorney Joseph V. Stewart added: "This puts other bars on notice about what could happen to then. :'osides costing money out of their have investigators from pockets, they c0uld/kgxjgwgrfciftim<a3m-.the Human lights Office and the APC board checking up on them. They could end up getting closed." add three discria In fact, other gay bars in Washington that in the past wore alloged targets of complaints abouVdlscrijMination are no longer complained about. ^he Lost & Found, now the c i t y ' s largest disco bar, was net by pixakrti froB the old Gay Liberation *ront when i f f i r s t opened in 1971 because of complaints that i t used the same kinds of discriminatory ID cheks that thd-^rand Central xsxsx l a t e r used. Frank Xanony, a x. -ay isember official of the D.C. Hcman "ights Gonru.ssin, said he had heard of no/complaints against the Lost & Found for sona tine. Earlier complaints were reportcdly resolved through 1he conciliatinn process. While complaints are being resolved in Washington, new ones are arising in other c i t i e s. e In Fhiladxlphla, for example, t :e c i t y ' s Human x£ights Commission has been investigating complain 9 that the Club Barracks, a gay male bath, has started to require blacks to f i l l out applications, thdn telling then i t would take a m nth to process the application.

"PrcKbably exceptionally good lookking black men are s t i l l given mmbcr3hip," Groth told the PhilaAddelphia Gay Hews. The club'a Manager denied any discrimination, but said membership policies have been tightened after several p-tty thefts. Last December, .embers of the Tale University student organisation, BaYj staged a picket at a New Haven gay bar, Lew Oubliettes. They charged that i t s nanagenent had been discriminating against blacks and women. The bar's Manager denied ttie caharges. 1 .ore add four diserirai v Other c i t i e s haje had their siiare of problems in the pajt. Tbt I l l i n o i s Liqitor Control ^omission handled a conpLaint two years ago about a Chicago women's bar named CK»s. A patron charged that the nanagenent was requiring extra ID cards from black and Latin wooen. The complaint was reaolvied when the bar agreed to post i t s ID requirements at the entrance and enforce them uniformly. Similarly, state liquor authorities in 1975 investigated Le Bistro, one of Chicago's more popular gay nen's danco bars, on charges of racial discrimination. That was resolved by Jgc an agreement that toe barw>uld not discriminate in the ftoc future, though i t did not admit that i t had in the past. A subsequent attempt by the city government to revoke i the place s license on the groaid of discrimination as well as "public indec^&mcy" vas ^successful when a judge fc nd inadequate grounds. A relatively short-lxived bar in Atlanta WmxjSiaanttaadb&mAmBm that was the subject of nurdaerous complaints of discrimination lost i t s license on other grounds and closed down. According to ^ i l l Snith, editor of Atlanta's gay paper, ^he Barb, and a member of the ci'ty's CoBBnunity Relations Conmittee, a group of Te^ans »MMI *»#/*• bought a bar and •BDEfek used the license of the previous owners to run a gay place called the Bayou Landing, ^he management put s t i f f ID checkes in -foe way of blacks, and .jwyawriopcxmBxaK told patrons they couldn't wear hats inside a rule clearly aimed at bLac3<s, Smith noted, ^he state liquor comr.iission refused to grant the owners a new License when the old one ran out, on the ground that the owners were not Georgia residents. norc add five discrim impose a cover And in Balt±raci\., asa a large disco bar used to/charEG ±1 i'ftnrwrfc £—n»*.^ ,«• lOTiim^ niu »g- that -uas a different amount f o r different people, according to Silas '"hiite, a black man who I s secretary at the Baltimore Gay AUiance.

Often, he eaid, tho ddoorman would l e t a certain number of blacks in without iiafcident, then begin to discourage more blacks fxrom entering to keep the clientele from getting "too black." r e add s ix discriim Of course, bar managers do not alwscrn hiv.. to engage in -any cnrert forms of discrimination to attract certain types of customers and discourage others. Soaeti ee i t ' s enough to put cnwirlMta country music on the jukebox to drive away black cuatoners. Nor does the presence or absence of blacks or women in a gay bar necessarily have anythiig to do with whether or not the bar's owners or managers personally hold r a c i s t or assist views. To some extent, customers can be counted upon to do t h e i r ovn self-selecting. Philadelphia Barbara Gittinga., a/woman who has been active in the gay r i g h ts movement for many years, observwl, "When gay people congregate socially, they do want to be among t h i r own kind." iefcee liany others agree that gay ran are lively to want to be among other men, and gay women among other wemsn* Often, bar managers feel they are simply trying to mold an 'image" that will attract people with the -oat money to spend, "hits middle-clasa men generally tend to bo those people, ^hus, a bar that attracts such people will sell a lot of liquor, while a bar that attracts large numbers of blacks, for example, may have idle bartenders whila the customers are busy dancing. That, at least, i s the image sone bar manager have in mind. So if the bar managers are only trying to make their customers feel £ comforxtable with people of their own kind, and i f M M peyolple have more money than others and are therfore better customers, what's wrong with that picture?

"There night be arguments about the r i g h t to coalesce in groups of similar people, but they have t o bo balanced against these other cosiderations," Kclley commented. Renee ^Wiovar, a Chicago gay woman lawyer, said t hat abaaemn aonetimes men/tell her that woman shouldn't complain about not being ablo to get into men's bars, becausa ama. can't comfortably enter wxien's bars.

Of course, in some places the possibility of ringling pri-narily with one's own kind doesn't exist. liany smaller c i t i e s have oniy ono or two gay awcfcbig bars, if ani^r. If you don't go there, you have to make do with whatever private dinner parties you can-wangle invitations t o , or stay hone. For example, Bill Smith noted:kfaadt "In I-jacony (Georgia), there are tiro bars, where a l l the social strata ^o — rich and poor. They r e f oread to have an uneasy truce TO. th each other." :r;Ore S add civiit di3crijn In any case, the problem of discrimination a t gay bars would perhaps not be so serious i f there were full participation by a ll »|iiM«tii»f colors and sexes of gay people in other aspects of tlie r.ay c ommuniV• ^hat, however, i s not t c case. Inclty after city, blacks and wonen participate in ,-ay organisations and services in far smaller proportions than their shares of the total gay populations. In Atlanta, -where blacks up jft percent of the ciy's population and about 30 percent of the raetropoliz±ijrtan area as a -whole, Bill Ssvith estimated that most gay organizations are perhaps 10 or 1$ percent black. Vj'onen, however, participato in greater numbers In several organizations, such as the local ••ictropolitan Community 4iurch« In Boston, Sen Axlley reports only small numbers of blacks in gay a c t i v i i s t organizations. "i-iore often than not wefre in the minority." Even in Washington, where the c i t y ' s population i s about 70 percent black, only a handful of blacks are active in gay groups* Baltiraore Is one eaMption, here, both blacks and women have bean among the top leaders of the Baltimore Gay Alliance, the c i t y 's political a c t i v i s t group, ainoa I t s founding.

She organized the New York chapter of the Daughters of Bilitis (DOB) from 1958 to 1963, edited the national DOB magazine The Ladder from 1963 to 1965, and worked closely with Frank Kameny in the 1960s on the first picket lines that brought attention to the ban on employment of gay people by the largest employer in the US at that time: the United States government. Gittings challenged the Daughters of Bilitis' conservative leadership by publishing an article by Kameny that urged readers to "move away from the comfortingly detached respectability of research into the often less pleasant rough-and-tumble of political and social activism." In response to her publishing this article, the Daughters of Bilitis leadership removed her as editor of The Ladder in 1965. Her early experiences with trying to learn more about lesbianism fueled her lifetime work with libraries. In the 1970s, Gittings was most involved in the American Library Association, forming the first gay caucus in a professional organization, in order to promote positive literature about homosexuality in libraries. She was a part of the movement to get the American Psychiatric Association to drop homosexuality as a mental illness in 1972. Her self-described life mission was to tear away the "shroud of invisibility" related to homosexuality that associated it with crime and mental illness. She was awarded a lifetime membership in the American Library Association, and the ALA named an annual award for the best gay or lesbian novel the The Barbara Gittings Award. The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) also named an activist award for her. Abstract A summary of the resource. At the first GLBT ALMS (Archive, Library, Museum, Special Collection) conference in May 2006 at the University of Minnesota, she mesmerized the audience with her plenary speech. I remember speaking with other conferees who had never heard her before: the commanding tone, the warm smile and stories, and the eyes that asked "what more are you going to do for our cause?". They were agog. There are fewer and fewer living witnesses to the bad old days of federally enforced 'closetting' and socially mandated hatred, fewer and fewer of those distinctive personalities that gave up so much to make it a better place for those of us who followed. With Barbara's passing, we have lost all that and therole as moral compass that she still played. A presence is gone and we are the poorer for its departure. Jack Nichols, writing in 1997, about Barbara's selection as co-grand marshall of New York City's Pride Parade called her "the Grand Mother of Lesbian and Gay Liberation". Not the 'Grandmother' but the "Grand Mother'. Ms Gittings also had an uncompromising element of earth mother in her motherliness. She was forthright, out, and outspoken, organized, hardworking and a strategist. Nichols also paid tribute to the inseparability of the "Barbara-and-Kay" team of Barbara and her life partner Kay Tobin Lahusen. For those who have met the 'team', it is a life partnership the like of which we all would love to have in our lives. Lahusen is the documentarian on the team, whose photo collection is now one of the treasures of the LGBTQ community. In Washington, DC Barbara Gittings found a partner in activism, Dr. Franklin E. Kameny, whose uncompromising and innovative gay civil rights activism found an echo in Gittings. They met in 1963. Active since 1958 (at the age of 26) in gay civil rights, with an already established role in the Daughters of Bilitis (she organized a NY chapter in 1958), she embraced the then radical idea of gay picketing, joining the Mattachine Society of Washington (MSW) in picketing the White House and other federal sites in Washington. She recalled in The Gay Crusaders (1972) that Kameny "was the first gay person I met who took firm, uncompromising positions about homosexuality and homosexuals' right to be considered fully on a par with heterosexuals.... Frank really raised my consciousness on this matter! Also thanks partly to him, I got turned on to gay civil rights issues." On July 4, 1965, she and Kameny brought gay picketing to Philadelphia's Independence Hall, three months after MSW began picketing. Gittings and Lahusen became active not only in the Daughters of Bilitis (where they met) and with Washington's Mattachine, but in the effort to organize regional homophile groups, beginning with the East Coast Homophile Organization and moving on to the Eastern Regional Conference of Homophile Organizations, and the nation conference, NACHO. At the Daughters of Bilitis, Gittings became editor of The Ladder, bringing the lesbian periodical into a bolder role, adding the subtitle "A Lesbian Review" in 1964 and adding cover photos of women in 1964. Gittings and Kameny worked together for nearly a decade to overturn the American Psychiatric Association's (APA) classification of homosexuality as a mental disorder. In May 1971, they were seated at the front of the hall at the APA's Washington, DC convention when gay activists took over the proceedings and Kameny seized the microphone. The following year Gittings and Kameny staffed a booth on homosexuality at the next APA convention in Dallas, TX. Gittings and Kameny were both honored in October 2006 with the first Fyrer Award from the APA for their leadership in the relation between psychiatry and homosexuality. In 1966, Gittings gave up editorial control of The Ladder and became involved as a personal counsel working with Kameny, Mattachine and others to counsel those in conflict with the Department of Defense over security clearances and employment issues. Gittings and Lahusen were active in Dr. Kameny's March 1971 campaign for Congress, travelling down from Philadelphia to help canvas for petition signatures and to leaflet voters. They came down with the busloads of volunteers from Philly and New York and stayed for the strategizing and the parties. In 1972, Gittings, long involved with libraries though not a librarian, joined the American Library Association's Task Force on Gay Liberation, becoming its leader. She has played a major role in ensuring that libraries carry resources that will inform and support gays and lesbians. She never lost sight of the frustration of days in her youth when she combed through libraries and bookstores looking for explanation and validation of her affectional orientation. In 1971 she established a Gay Book Award focusing critical evaluation on fiction and non-fiction books dealing with homosexuality. Librarians recognized her enormous contributions. In 2003, the American Library Association made her an honorary member in recognition of her contributions. The Free Library of Philadelphia had honored her in 2001 with the creation of the Barbara Gittings Gay/Lesbian Collection.

Title A name given to the resource Ourstory: Pride in the DMV Collection, 26 Description An account of the resource In May 1972, Washington, DC's GLBT community celebrated its first Pride. The previous two years, gays and lesbians had gone to New York City to celebrate the Stonewall anniversary. In the winter of 1972, the Gay Liberation Front-DC proposed a local celebration, though they scheduled it a month and half before New York's celebration so that people would not have to choose between the events. DC's initial Pride celebration was as much a protest as a celebration, following almost exactly one year after Gay Mayday and the anti-war Mayday demonstrations had closed the streets of the city. This marked the first public celebration of gay and lesbian pride in Washington DC. Organized by the Gay Liberation Front, the festival drew support from All Souls Church, the Community Bookshop, the Gay Activists Alliance, the Gay People's Alliance of George Washington University, Henry Street (one of the houses of the Awards Club, a local drag organization) and the Metropole Cinema. The principal organizers were Chuck Hall, Bruce Pennington, and Cade Ware. This collection includes materials from Gay Pride, Capital Pride, DC Black Pride, and other Pride-related festivals and events.

Title A name given to the resource Dissension in the Ranks [Exhibit Panel] Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2006 Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. The Millennium March on Washington took place APril 30, 2000. It represented a major rift in the Gay civil rights movement. Unlike the first three Marches on Washington, which were called for and planned by grassroots activists, the 2000 March was initially called for and organized by the Human Rights Campaign and the Metropolitan Community Churches. Criticism focused on the closed nature of the planning process and the lack of a galvanizing political agenda. Many GLBT leaders called for a boycott, and some prominent GLBT organizations did not endorse the event. Despite the controversy and the boycott, masses still descended on Washington, DC, although critics contend it was smaller and less diverse than the two previous Marches. The March platform called for the passage of a hate crimes bill and racial justice. Speakers repeatedly stressed the need to get out the vote on election day. To accommodate persons with disabilities, the March route was dramatically different and shorter than the other three Marches. For the first time, the March included a festival, which stretched down Pennsylvania Avenue. Allegations of theft and fraud, and a subsequent FBI financial investigation clouded the festival, thus the Millenium March ended the way it began – in controversy. https://archives.rainbowhistory.org/files/original/763c5574c988f9c8777a7a5a80dd4db2.pdf 1847d4e71820ccc8eb86319434f1ff0d Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Eva Freund Papers (Series XXIII) Description An account of the resource Eva Freund arrived in Washington, DC in 1961, briefly hung out at the lesbian club Rendezvous (1 block over from the Gayety), and became an early member of the Mattachine Society of Washington. With Richard Schaeffer, she edited and distributed Mattachine's newsletter The Insiderin the late 1960s. Eva was involved with the fledgling Gay Activists Alliance in the early 70s. She discovered the National Organization of Women (NOW) at a feminist demonstration while living in Reading, PA in 1970. On her return to Washington, DC she joined NOW-DC and quickly became involved in its activities. With others, she founded the DC-NOW Sexuality Task Force. Shortly thereafter, she helped found Capitol Hill NOW and was its first president. In 1973, she became involved in the campaign to pass DC's first human rights act, Title 34, and testified before the DC Council in support of the act as a board member of the local NOW chapter. Recalls the period as one of "strong coalition between NOW and the gay community." In addition to copies of The Insider, her papers include an insightful account of life as a lesbian in the Mattachine Society of Washington, an account of lesbians in NOW. The papers also include her testimony (May 10, 1973) in support of Title 34 and subsequent testimony (June 7, 1973) supporting the addition of credit and finance protection to Title 34. The collection also includes the text of the Title 34 human rights act and an explanatory NOW pamphlet from 1973. The papers of David Aiken, gay activist, member of the Gay Liberation Front, and Washington, DC correspondent for The Advocate, include Eva Freund's 1974 testimony in support of adding sexual orientation to the Fairfax County human rights protections. At the time, Eva was employed by the county as a Manpower Planner. Eva Freund's remembrances of life in, and out of, Washington, D.C. have been preserved on one of the audiotapes in the Rainbow History Project's collection of oral histories.
