This powerful collection--which captures the energy, humor, and humanity of the groundbreaking protests that surrounded the Stonewall Riots--celebrates the diversity of this rights movement, both in the subjects of the photos and by presenting Lahusen and Davies\' distinctive work and perspectives in conversation with each other.
Davies, in turn, is one of the most important photojournalists who documented gay, lesbian, and trans liberation, as well as civil rights, feminist, and antiwar movements.
Lahusen is a pioneering photojournalist who captured pivotal moments in the LGBTQ civil rights movement.
These indelible images are among the thousands housed in the New York Public Library\'s archive of photographs of 1960s and \'70s LGBTQ history from photojournalists Kay Tobin Lahusen and Diana Davies.
