below: The picture on the right is from New York City’s first Gay Pride March on 17th July 1969.
below: The book in the poster on the left is “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings”, Maya Angelou’s autobiography of her early years. The poster on the right looks like a copy of something from the 1950’s – a science fiction movie or a book?
below: “The Spirit Lives on, the Struggle is ours.
When life no longer has value and living still comes at a cost
Reset the clock of healing, never forgetting the loss.”

below: A collection of Black Lives Matter posters. End Police Brutality; No Justice, No Peace; Disarm, Defund, Diminish, Abolish.
