Biographical History
On October 14, 1979 thousands of people marched on Washington, D.C. to demand "an end to all social, economic, judicial, and legal oppression of Lesbians and Gay people." The organizing of this public demonstration began in March 1979 when 300 Lesbians and Gay men, representing over 200 Lesbian, gay, Feminist, and political organizations, met in Philadelphia. June 1979 was the tenth anniversary of the Stonewall rebellion, and in April 1979 100 people began the process of organizing in New York City. Four committees were formed - Media, Logistics & Travel, Fundraising, and Transportation. Six delegates were elected to a National Steering Committee.
