SUMMARY:Rainbow Pride D.C. Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Few social groups have made such rapid strides in equality as the LGBTQ community during the fifty years following the Stonewall uprising. Leading up to and beyond that seminal moment\, D.C.’s own courageous men and women made invaluable contributions to the cultural and social history of the nation’s capital: \nWalt Whitman celebrated “the love of comrades” in his groundbreaking poetry and his intimate relationship with Pete Doyle in the 1860’s. \nGeorgia Douglas Johnson hosted Saturday Night salons in the 1920’s that nurtured Harlem Renaissance luminaries Langston Hughes and Richard Bruce Nugent. \nFrank Kameny protested federal employment discrimination in the 1960’s and campaigned for Congress on a “Gay is Good” platform. \nThe Gay Liberation Front of the 1970’s provided communal housing for activists. \nFollowing Stonewall\, Deacon Maccubbin founded Lambda Rising bookstore and the city’s first Gay Pride festival. \nSee the sites associated with these figures and events while walking through the Dupont Circle and Strivers Section Historic Districts. The walk will conclude on vibrant 17th Street NW\, a short walk back to the Dupont Circle Metro station.

SUMMARY:Artist-led Workshop: From Zine to Screen
DESCRIPTION:The Carpenters’ Company and the National Liberty Museum are collaborating to present the artist led workshop\, From Zine to Screen! From stone tablets to the printing press to TikTok\, communications technology has played a key role in sharing beliefs and catalyzing movements. Join artist Lane Speidel\, whose work is featured in the new exhibition Data Nation\, as they lead an exploration of a time-honored form of communicating information and personal narratives: the zine! Using a myriad of materials*\, form your zine (short for “magazine\,” but with a DIY twist!) and share the causes you want to see supported\, the hopes you have for the future\, what liberty means to you\, or even a personal story. After completing your work\, you can scan your zine and have its cover become part of a “digital quilt” showcasing the sense of community that forms when people create together.

SUMMARY:Up Stairs Lounge Fire 50th Anniversary Commemoration Weekend
DESCRIPTION:In its heyday\, the Up Stairs Lounge was an egalitarian gay space that functioned\, in many ways\, as a forerunner to modern queer safe havens. From October 1970 to June 1973\, the bar toasted Black as well as white gay customers in an era of brazen racial discrimination on nearby Bourbon Street. We will gather at this summit to mark half a century since the destruction of the Up Stairs Lounge and to preserve the memory of what occurred. We will consider what progress has been made since that time period and also how far we have to go. We will join in dialogue to contend with the newly resurgent\, international awareness of this once-neglected past. Lastly\, we will recognize and eulogize the lives of the 31 men and one woman who perished on a random Sunday through no choice or fault of their own. \nKick-off the Up Stairs Lounge Fire 50th Anniversary Commemoration Weekend at The Historic New Orleans Collection. In the Keynote Speech\, authors Johnny Townsend\, Robert Fieseler\, and Clayton Delery will discuss the tragedy and its complex legacy. The keynote will be followed by a community reception.
