Today, on the 51st Anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, Kenosha Pride is proud to announce Pride Without Prejudice, A March for All Black Lives. This event will be held on Sunday, July 12, 2020 starting at Noon at Library Park in Kenosha. This event will open with speakers and an 8 minute and 46 seconds observation in memory of George Floyd. We will then March in the street from Library Park to Veterans Memorial Park, where we will close with additional speakers.
This event will be showing solidarity and support for All Black Lives. All participants are STRONGLY encouraged to wear face coverings-Kenosha Pride will provide masks for those who need them thanks to a sponsorship from Vivent Health. Individual bottles of hand sanitizer will also be available.
Pictures will be taken at this event. For privacy considerations, all faces will be blurred before publication.
On June 28, 1969 the Stonewall Rebellion was started by Trans women of color who were tired of harassment by police. As Marsha P. Johnson, one of the leaders of the Stonewall Rebellion, said, “No Pride for some of us without liberation for all of us”. We stand with the communities of color and say when your arms are tired, we will help lift them up!
