Biographical notes:

The Christopher Street Liberation Day Committee was the original organizer, starting in 1970, of the New York Gay Pride March and Rally. At first a committee of representatives from various organizations, they later became fully independent. They continued to be the organizers until replaced by Heritage of Pride in 1984.
