INTRODUCING: LGBT PRIDE AT THE SCHOMBURG

Friday, June 2nd,  6:00PM-10:00PM,  LGBT Pride Edition at The Schomburg, 135th and Lenox. To kick off LGBT Pride Month, the Schomburg Center is proud to present the third annual First Fridays: LGBT Pride social gathering, in honor of our In the Life Archive, a collection of materials of and by black LGBT people throughout history preserved in our Manuscripts, Archives and Rare Books Division. Complementing the party will be a special pop-up exhibit culled from our collections highlighting the life and work of LGBT activist Storme DeLarverie, who's credited as having thrown the first punch against police which sparked the 3-day Stonewall Riots.
