Rainbow History Board's Statement on Kameny's Passing
We had planned an anniversary celebration of the organization Mr. Kameny helped found, the Mattachine Society of Washington for this Thursday evening.
After Mr. Kameny's death, Rainbow History Project sponsored an event honoring the 50th anniversary of the Mattachine Society of Washington. In discussing the Mattachine Society of Washington and its legacy, we honored the life and work of Dr. Kameny.
