Stop by Parkway Central Library's West Gallery to see the exhibition Gittings, Stonewall Book Awards, and PFLAG. This exhibition shines light on the incredible and important protests led by Barbara Gittings, Coordinator of the American Library Association’s Gay Task Force, and features key moments from her life including her first protest march at Independence Hall 50 years ago, as well as books and materials important in the life of the LGBTQ community from the pre-Stonewall era to today.

This exhibition, on display from Monday, June 22 to Friday, August 14, is part of a city-wide celebration of the 50th anniversary of the “Reminder Day” protests in 1965.  For the broader context and to see what other institutions are involved, visit www.waygay.org.

The Free Library is also proud to feature the permanent Barbara Gittings Gay and Lesbian Collection at Independence Library.
