Reads of Acceptance (Online)

Join us as we discuss books pertaining to LGBTQ+ experiences! All identities are welcome. 

This month's book will be The Stonewall Reader, an anthology from the New York Public Library.

Book summary: "Drawing from the New York Public Library's archives, The Stonewall Reader is a collection of first accounts, diaries, periodic literature, and articles from LGBTQ magazines and newspapers that documented both the years leading up to and the years following the riots. Most importantly the anthology spotlights both iconic activists who were pivotal in the movement, such as Sylvia Rivera, co-founder of Street Transvestites Action Revolutionaries (STAR), as well as forgotten figures like Ernestine Eckstein, one of the few out, African American, lesbian activists in the 1960s."
