NYC LGBT Historic Sites Project Preserves Local Queer History

The NYC LGBT Historic Sites Project is an organization whose goal is to teach and preserve LGBT history in our city, in an effort to broaden our understanding past Stonewall. The project has created a database of historic sites, an interactive map of local LGBT history, and also advocates to hold the National Park Service accountable in increasing the amount of LGBT sites added to the National Register of Historic Places. The group also sometimes leads walking tours! Andrew S. Dolkart, co-founder and Columbia professor, and Ken Lustbader, co-founder and historic preservation consultant, join to tell us more about their mission and some lesser known LGBT history.
