The announcement of President Obama's recent designation of the site of the June 28, 1969 Stonewall uprising as a national monument prominently featured LGBT historical materials from the Library's Manuscripts & Archives Division available online in our Digital Collections. The images in the White House's video announcement include photographs of the Stonewall after the uprising, as well as historic photographs of pioneering LGBT activists of the 1960s and 1970s. These photographs were drawn from the archives of activist photojournalists Kay Tobin Lahusen, Diana Davies, and Richard Wandel. Some highlights include:
