AS YOU CELEBRATE PRIDE THIS MONTH, REMEMBER THE PIONEERS WHO PAVED THE WAY. Pictured left: Marsha P. Johnson, Gay Liberation Front member, hands out flyers in support of gay students' rights at NYU's Weinstein Hall in September 1970. Johnson (1945-1992) was an activist, a drag performer and a central figure in the gay liberation movement sparked by the 1969 police raid on the Stonewall Inn in New York City. #BlackLivesMatter
