On June 28, 1970, a small group of LGBTQ people marched down Polk Street - then San Francisco's most prominent queer neighborhood - to mark an event called 'Christopher Street Liberation Day' Commemorating the one-year anniversary of the historic Stonewall uprising on Christopher Street in New York City, the march was followed by an intimate 'gay-in' at Speedway Meadows in Golden Gate Park.
Presented by the GLBT Historical Society and the San Francisco Arts Commission (SFAC) Galleries, with the support of San Francisco Pride '50 Years of Pride' features 100 photographs to celebrate five decades of San Francisco Pride, one of the city's most beloved public festivals. As the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has delayed the opening of the '50 Years of Pride' exhibition in San Francisco City Hall, an online version has been unveiled on the GLBT Historical Society's website.
