“Gay Rights,” detail from the 1950s section of the Great Wall of Los Angeles.
Closeup of three historical events on the mural. Gay Rights features a police officer with a club raiding a gay establishment. Daughters of Bilitis section features eight adult women and one infant seated in a semi-circle around a table. Some of the women have their arms around each others' shoulders. Mattachine Society section features a row of seated men facing a mirror in a dark room with light emanating from an entrance and the silhouettes of two figures. The seated men wear a full face mask on the backside of their heads. Their reflections are in full color: two men embracing and another pair of men with their arms around each others' shoulders; one man holds up a flyer.
