Coll. 005: March on Washington / Gay and Lesbian Defense Committee Collection Finding Aid

The materials in this collection – compiled by Boston-based activist Sarah Holmes – document the work of several national and local (to Boston, Massachusetts) lesbian and gay rights groups from 1977 to 1993, with the bulk of the materials pertaining to organizing efforts and events from 1985 to 1988. The materials in the collection are divided into three main categories: March on Washington (1987), Gay and Lesbian Defense Committee of Boston, Massachusetts, and Miscellaneous. Activist groups central to the collection include the National March of Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights Organizing Committee and its Boston sub-committees, and the Gay and Lesbian Defense Committee of Boston, Massachusetts.
