Pride Month in Retrospect:ONE Archives Foundation in the Community

The ONE Archives Foundation collaborated with many community partners throughout Pride Month, honoring the brave individuals who started movements to stand strong and fight for our equality and visibility. During Pride Month we participated in 16 events throughout Greater Los Angeles, including Our Pride at the Historic Leimert Park and Councilmember Mitch O’Farrell’s Community Inauguration Celebration. Our educational history panels were displayed at seven locations across the region, including West Hollywood Park and Los Angeles City Hall’s Bridge Gallery. Your support makes this important work in the community possible, preserving our history and telling the stories of our struggles and victories to advance equality for future generations. Please support the ONE Archives Foundation’s mission to share LGBTQ history, art, and culture with diverse communities by contributing today.
