One event, The American Solar Challenge, begins on July 30, and this year, the solar cars in the eight-day, 1,800-mile road race will make official stops in nine different National Park sites in seven states as they make their way from Cuyahoga Valley National Park in Brecksville, Ohio, to Wind Cave National Park near Hot Springs, South Dakota. Numerous national historic sites will also serve as checkpoints along the way (see the full list here), but the official rally stops will offer a traveling exhibit, activities, and an up-close look at the cars.

    The gay "sip-in" that drew from the civil rights movement By History.com, adapted by Newsela staff on 11.07.19 Word Count 887 Level 1020L Image 1. A bartender in Julius's Bar refuses to serve John Timmins, Dick Leitsch, Craig Rodwell and Randy Wicker, members of the Mattachine Society, an early American gay rights group, who were protesting New York liquor laws that prevented serving gay customers on April 21, 1966. Photo from: Getty Images/Fred W. McDarrah. In 1966, on a spring afternoon in Greenwich Village, three men set out to change the political and social climate of New York City. After having gone from one bar to the next, the men reached a cozy tavern named Julius'. They approached the bartender, proclaimed they were gay and then requested a drink, but were promptly denied service. The trio had accomplished their goal: their "sip-in" had begun. The men belonged to the Mattachine Society, an early organization dedicated to fighting for gay rights. They wanted to show that bars in the city discriminated against gay people. Discrimination against the gay community was a common practice at the time. Still, this discrimination was less obvious than the discriminatory Jim Crow laws in the South that forced racial segregation.

  • 1 Teaching LGBTQ History and Heritage Leila J. Rupp LGBTQ
    1 Teaching LGBTQ History and Heritage Leila J. Rupp LGBTQ Heritage Initiative: Theme Study Chapter Imagine a world in which students could visit not just Civil War battlefields that raise the profound issues of slavery and what it means for states to be united, but also buildings that housed places that came to feel like home to people marginalized because of sexuality and gender, places that were important enough to defend against onslaughts by the police. That is the possibility that teaching the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) past through historic sites offers. The houses where famous and less known lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people lived, the commercial establishments they patronized and defended, and even places that mark a history of discrimination and violence offer the opportunity to make LGBTQ history a part of US history in a way that makes a difference for students, wherever they are learning history. A more inclusive history certainly matters to LGBTQ students, who suffer not just from bullying and other forms of discrimination but also from being deprived of a past. Many years ago, I was teaching an introductory US history course when I ran into a student from the class who was working in the local gay restaurant. He told me that he had never heard of Stonewall until I talked about it in a lecture on social movement of the 1960s. He was so excited to hear a mention of the gay past in a history class that he told his roommate about it. He also came out, since they had never discussed their sexual identities, and then the roommate came out to him.

  • Press Release: LPC to Consider Stonewall Inn
    PRESS RELEASE June 2, 2015 For Immediate Release GVSHP HAILS HISTORIC CITY VOTE TO CONSIDER STONEWALL INN, BIRTHPLACE OF MODERN LGBT RIGHTS MOVEMENT, A NEW YORK CITY LANDMARK Advocates waged year and a half campaign; Vote is first step in process; City still noncommittal on three other LGBT history sites Manhattan – Capping a year and half campaign spearheaded by the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation (GVSHP), today the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission voted unanimously to calendar, or formally consider for landmark designation, the Stonewall Inn at 51-53 Christopher Street in Greenwich Village. The public hearing on the landmarking proposal will be held on Tuesday, June 23rd. If designated, the Stonewall Inn would become the first “LGBT landmark” in New York City, or the first site landmarked solely for its connection to LGBT history. Today’s vote begins the formal process of considering the site for landmark designation, which still requires a public hearing and subsequent vote. GVSHP first proposed the Stonewall Inn and three other sites connected to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) history for landmark designation a year and a half ago, and along with elected officials, other preservation groups, and LGBT organizations, has been urging the Commission to take this step. In response to today’s vote, GVSHP’s Executive Director, Andrew Berman, issued the following statement: “Today’s vote is a welcome and long overdue step forward in recognizing and preserving a tremendously important piece of our history. Few sites more powerfully embody the struggle for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender rights, and for achieving a fairer and more just society, than the Stonewall Inn.

He was highly visible as an incendiary queer black musician in the European-American tradition of classical music. However, at the end of his life and certainly after his death, his legacy became obscured through a myriad of circumstances. The musical language contained within Julius Eastman’s middle-period work from 1976-1981 is intentionally vague and non- prescriptive in ways that parallel his lived experience as an actor of mediated cultural visibility. The visual difficulty of deciphering Eastman’s written scores compounds with the sonic difference in the works as performed to further ambiguity.

  • West Village Gay Bar Julius Could Become Historic Site
    Updated : March 23 - Published : March 23 West Village gay bar Julius could become historic site The proposal for historic recognition explains the bar was the site “of an important 1966 event in the early modern gay rights movement in which activists organized what became known as a ‘sip-in.'" Photo: NYS PARKS × 1 / 4 Julius, a small understated gay bar in the West Village, could soon become a historic site for its important role in the gay right’s movement. The Gov. Andrew Cuomo's office made the announcement on Wednesday saying that Julius and a list of 18 additional proposed properties, resources and districts to the State and National Registers of Historic Places represent New York’s “rich and diverse heritage." RELATED: Pop-up Robert Mapplethorpe gallery has audio commentary from the artist Julius, which sits on the corner of West 10th Street and Waverly Place, is often described as “one of the city’s oldest bars in continuous operation.” The proposal for historic recognition explains the bar was the site “of an important 1966 event in the early modern gay rights movement in which activists organized what became known as a ‘sip-in’ to successfully challenge New York State Liquor Authority regulations that prohibited bars from serving drinks to known or suspected gay men or lesbians.” RELATED: Mets set to host LGBT Pride night this season, will be first MLB NYC team to do so The Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation (GVSHP) expands on the history on its website saying: “The story goes that members of the New York City Mattachine Society, a national gay rights organization taking inspiration from the civil rights sit-ins of the South, decided to challenge the regulation that prohibited bars from servings gay clients.

This is a site of great historic importance and cultural significance to the LGBT community. April 21, 2016 will mark 50 years since the first planned act of civil disobedience for LGBT rights, when gay men visited Julius’ Bar to challenge the State Liquor Authority’s (SLA) discriminatory regulations. After they were refused service, the three men filed a complaint with the New York City Commission on Human Rights. This led to a 1967 state court ruling that declared the SLA needed “substantial evidence” of indecent behavior to close a bar and not just same-sex kissing or touching. The decision was a landmark case that reversed years of discrimination and became a key catalyst in the gay rights movement. The movement is internationally recognized coming into its own with the 1969 rebellion and riots at the Stonewall Inn which, as you know, was landmarked by LPC in June 2015. The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation has deemed Julius’ Bar eligible for listing on the State and National Registers of Historic Places due to its historical significance.
