50 Years Later--World Pride 2019; Solid Progress Along with Setbacks

from NPR Cross Currents with Scott Widmeyer · host Scott Widmeyer

The 1969 Stonewall uprisings are being marked this weekend at World Pride 2019 in NYC. That event, 50 years ago, unleashed an entire movement to bring equality to the LGBTQ community. Significant progress has happened. We interview NYC Council Speaker Corey Johnson who is viewed as a rising star in the gay political world. And we talk with Syracuse University professor Mara Sapon-Shevin on how LGBTQ history is or is not making it in today's school curriculum.
