Two black t-shirts and one cream t-shirt depicting the State Capitol building in an inverted triangle. Lettering around the sides reads "The 1993 March on Washington for lesbian, gay, and bi, equal rights and liberation"Context
The RI Alliance for Lesbian and Gay Civil Rights organized car loads of people to attend lobby days and participate in the 1993 March on Washington. A mass "wedding" was held in front of the US Treasury--since the inability to marry created enormous tax losses for many couples. Diane Cook and M'lyn Hines participated in the "wedding" and received a "certificate" recognizing their partnership.Clothing/Dress/Costume Details
