Pride month shows how far we’ve come, and how far we have yet to go.Pride month prompts parades, celebrations, and demonstrations, promoting LGBTQ+ visibility and equality. It falls in June, to mark the Stonewall riots for gay rights in New York in 1969 that spawned the first such march.
Since the murder of George Floyd, a resurgence of activism, from Black Lives Matter to Stop Asian Hate to advocacy for trans, immigrant and sex workers’ rights, has filled the streets. Queer and trans voices of color have come to the forefront of this fight for collective freedom.
These portraits by Stas Ginzburg celebrate and create visibility for our LGBTQ+ siblings who live unapologetically in their truth while advocating for the rights of all marginalized communities.
This exhibition has been organized by Peter Hay Halpert Fine Art and will be on view in the Library's Community Room for the month of June.

Harper Powell
Harper Powell is a BMI songwriter from Salida, Colorado, who started singing not long after she began taking her first steps. A strong bent of classic rock requires a second listen to appear clearly to the average listener. Like a young Alison Krauss, Harper marries the offbeat visionary style of Syd Barrett with the dark conceptualization of Grace Slick to beget a brand-new but still retro-inspired musical statement.
