On June 28, 1970, the one year anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising, the first Pride marches were held in New York, Los Angeles & Chicago. Since then LGBTQ+ community & allies have continued to gather in June to march for Pride. On the main level of the Library we have books on display about LGBTQ+ Pride Month parades and Stonewall. In addition to the following resources to learn about Pride Month history, flags, and how to celebrate.
The History of Pride, Library of Congress
Pride Flags, Human Rights Campaign
