Administrative History

The National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights was held October 11, 1987.

The march was organized around the theme: "For Love and for Life, We're Not Going Back!"

Scope and Content of Collection

The records of the national office of the March on Washington for Gay and Lesbian Rights (1987) include administrative, financial, programmatic and follow-up records. The March on Washington had a surplus of $87,028.42, according to an income statement dated December 31, 1987, of which $67,000 was distributed to 34 organizations around the country. The collection contains the applications from the various organizations which demonstrate the breadth of the gay and lesbian movement at the time. In addition to records of the March itself, the collection contains records of five days of auxiliary activities, which included The Wedding of several hundred couples in front of the Justice Department, the first national display of the Quilt by the Names Project, civil disobedience in front of the Supreme Court building and meetings of many groups, including the first national meeting of gay and lesbian archivists.
