Digital Image Activity

The task was to find an image relating to historical protests. I found my image on the New York Public Library digital collection. This image shows a group of queer people who are a part of the group, Gay Contingent, protesting against the Vietnam War. I found this image particularly interesting because it is a group of opressed people coming together to fight for another injustice. Those who have experienced injustice in any capacity may be more likely to recognize the inhumanity that is so hallmark to war and especially the Vietnam War.

A group of people from Gay Contingent protesting against the Vietnam War in New York City. A poster held by one member reads, "Queens Gays Against The War".
