Telling America’s Story: Creating Equality in the National Park System

Please join us for a free reception at The Bronze Cafe, from 6 to 7 PM. Followed by a panel discussion and audience questions from 7 to 8:30 PM

During the summer of 1969, on the hot streets of Greenwich Village in lower Manhattan, demonstrators gathered in solidarity and protest at the Stonewall Inn and nearby Christopher Park. The demonstration – now known as the Stonewall Uprising – was the first of its kind, a rallying point in history that has since led to and inspired LGBT communities throughout the country to organize in support of their civil rights.

Please join NPCA and partnering organizations for an evening of important discussion on this historic place, this historic event. And please join us in asking President Obama to create the first national park site honoring LGBT history.

Reception from 6 – 7:00 p.m.

Panel Discussion from 7:00 to 8:30 PM with:

• Tod Story, executive director of the Nevada ACLU
• Dennis McBride, director of the Nevada State Museum, Las Vegas
• Michael Dimengo, CEO of The Center
• David Parks, Nevada state senator

IF YOU CANNOT MAKE IT: Please sign the petition asking President Obama to create the first national park site honoring LGBT history.
