This site shows photos of gay men holding up banners just like the banner that Donna Gottschalk held. Their banner read "Christopher Street Gay Liberation Day." This was the first of many more celebrations to come. Its 2013 about to be 2014 and the parade is still rocking. I work in a predominately gay area and every year I witness people coming from the annual parade. Now I wonder if these new participants know their history.

For over forty years gay pride parades have become tradition in several cities worldwide. They have evolved from radical protests to politicians and entertainers being a part of the event. Participants were very wary of the reaction they would get from non gays. Fear was an issue because back in the 70's It was not accepted to express that you were gay. The parade turned out to be a huge success therefore giving courage to supporters and participants to make this event tradition.

This site shows a really cool timeline from 1969 until 2010 of Gay Pride celebrations that have taken place in San Francisco. For instance, the information on the timeline consists of the temperature of the event, the amount of people that showed up, who was the mayor at the time and a picture of the flyer.

This site talks about a riot that took place in 1969 in New York City. Police raided the Stonewall Inn, which was a popular gay bar located in Greenwich Village section of New York. The streets erupted into violent protests that lasted about six days. The Stonewall Riots, as the incident became known, marked a major turning point in the modern Gay Rights movement. It was also sparked the first Gay Pride parade which took place a year later.

This site focuses on the first gay parade in 1970 in New York City. A group called the Gay Liberation Front created flyers for this historic event. This special day was called Liberation Day. The flyer's logo was an illustration of intertwined male on male and female on female symbols. The planning of this event took place shortly after the Stonewall Riots. The riots that took place at the Stonewall Inn in 1969 caused a split between gay activists. Some supported the violence and others were against the radical protests.

This site shows many interesting pictures during the Depression. One of my favorites is of a eighteen year old mother with her very young child. The mother is standing behind her baby while the kid is eating something from the ground. After viewing multiple sites on the Great Depression I learned that not everyone struggle during this time. The majority of people who lived during the Depression were poor however there a small percentage of people who were not affected at all. This divided America into two classes: the rich and the poor.

This site discusses gender roles during the Depression. Women no longer stayed home and took care of the house. They now had to go out a get low paying jobs. Women worked just as hard as men however they would only get paid have as much. I assume not being equal caused added stress. The picture that we are studying shows a young lady who's twenty seven years old but she looks twice her age.

This site also reflects the roles of women during the Depression. However it focuses on the work detail for which women were responsible . When their husbands lost their jobs, women were forced into the labor market. The New Deal was a program created to aid economic recovery and it helped improve women's working conditions. The depression caused more women to have to get jobs than any other time in history. the New Deal also helped women overcome some racial prejudices against non- white women workers.

This site gives more insight on women's contributions during the Depression. It focuses on the women's roles during that particular time. The women of the depression showed a lot of courage and they were determined to survive during these tough times. Husbands brought home reduced wages and the women did what ever it took at home to take care of the family. An example of this would be when women would buy old bread , eat less and warmed dishes to save on gas.

This site gives information on the actual picture. The picture was taken in 1936 during the great depression. The lady in the picture is a twenty seven your old sharecropper from Alabama. The photographer who took the photo's name is Walker Evans. Mr. Evans was hired by an government agency called the Farm security administration. During this time agricultural workers suffered crop failure and economic hardship. Walker Evans was there to photograph the conditions.

This article gives information about the famous picture of Rosa Parks on the bus. After seeing this picture its safe to assume that this was the day that Rosa Parks felt that she would not get up from her seat. And that the man in the picture was either the bus driver or an angry white man disturbed because of where Rosa was sitting. However the man in the picture was not the driver nor an angry white man. He was a reporter and his name was Nicholas C. Chriss. This historic picture was the day after the Supreme Court ruled that segregated busing was illegal. That day was December 21, 1956.

This site contains several inspirational quotes by Rosa Parks. My favorite quote is "I have learned over the years that when one's mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear". This quote could apply to anything , scoring a goal , passing a test or winning a race. I feel that the day Rosa choose to stand her ground and refuse to leave her seat explains the meaning of this quote

This site focuses on the preparation for the boycott. The day Rosa Parks was arrested 300 women from the Women's Political Council were ready to get the word out. The Women's Political Council was a group that was created in 1946. This group was created when dozens of black people were getting arrested on buses. 35,000 circulars were made to get people together to start the boycott.
