Crowd Gathered at the March on Albany, 1971

Gay liberation groups marched on Albany with a list of demands. Fueled by the Stonewall riots in 1969 and continuing the momentum from the first Christopher Street Liberation Day march in 1970, activist groups led between 2,500 and 3,000 people in a march on the state capital. Marsha P. Johnson marches in the lower left-hand corner of the picture. Visible signs include ones that say "Gay Liberation Now" and "Mattachine Buffalo Gay Is Good".
