See these scenes play out in film at the Sharon Hayes show at the Whitney. It’s a mesmerizing 33 minutes of footage from the 1971 Christopher Street Liberation Day Parade shot by Women’s Liberation Cinema, with Kate Millet and Sharon Hayes voice over commentary. The photographs here are by Diana Davies via NYPL. She must have been hanging w the WLC because many of these shots are parallel to the footage. LO-VE
