The ceremony will take place on June 22 at 6:30 PM ET at 53 Christopher Street, New York, NY. The event will kick off with opening remarks by Nicole Murray Ramirez, San Diego City Commissioner and Queen Mother of the Americas of the International Imperial Court System, and follow with remarks on honorees from notable presenters including Task Force Executive Director Kierra Johnson, drag queens Landa Lakes, Poison Waters and Monica Boulevard, producer Luchina Fisher, playwright Santino DeAngelo, and Executive Director of Broadway Cares, Tom Viola.
Cathy Renna, Communications Director at the Task Force will emcee the event. The Wall of Honor posthumously celebrates and acknowledges LGBTQ activists, artists and other individuals who played crucial roles in the ongoing fight for LGBTQ liberation.
These icons will join the likes of Harvey Milk, James Baldwin, Keith Haring, Jose Sarria, Audre Lorde, Marsha P. Johnson, Matthew Shepard, and dozens of others as a living memorial in the bar that was the site of the historic uprising in 1969. “I founded the National LGBTQ Wall of Honor because I believe that a community, indeed a civil rights movement, that doesn’t know where it came from and whose shoulders it stands on doesn’t really know where it’s going,” said Nicole Murray Ramirez, San.
