Celebrating Pride Month with our LGBTQIA+ Community
Today is June 1, the first day of Pride Month, a celebration of LGBTQIA+ people and their positive impact on society. “The first Pride March in New York City was held on June 28, 1970, on the one year anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising,” explains the Library of Congress website. We invite you to learn more about LBGTQIA+ events, resources, and audio/visual content on the LOC website.
Villanova University is joining in Pride Month as well, recognizing “the presence and contributions of LGBTQIA+ individuals to history, culture and society in general.”
At the Library, we offer our Pride-themed Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion guide from 2020, which runs down a slate of curated content and resources. It gives the month proper historical context and provides many hours of educational and illuminating works.
