Abstract:	A ragtag group of women protesting behind a police line in the rain. A face in a crowd holding a sign that says, "Hi Mom, Guess What!" at a gay rights rally. Two lovers kissing under a tree. These indelible images are among the thousands housed in the New York Public Library's archive of photographs of 1960 and '70s LGBTQ civil rights movement. Davies, in turn, is one of the most important photojournalists who documented gay, lesbian, and trans liberation, as well as civil rights, feminist, and antiwar movements. This powerful collection - -which captures the energy, humour, and humanity of the groundbreaking protests that surrounded the Stonewall Riots - celebrates the diversity of this rights movement, both in the subjects of the photos and by presenting Lahusen and Davies' distinctive work and perspectives in conversation with each other. A preface, captions, and part introductions from curator Hason Baumann provide illuminating historical context. And an introduction from Roxane Gay, bestselling author of Hunger, speaks to the continued importance of these iconic photos of resistance.
