Perhaps you should look at that button you have again!!!
I was on the Steering Committees of both the October 14, 1979 March on
Washington and the Oct. 11, 1987 March on Washington. I was also among the
four people at the War Conference held in Virginia in 1988, that called for and
led to be enacted, that October 11 be annually held as National Coming Out Day.
I also have all those buttons over the years as well.
Stick to the politics - you may have a better chance - than to discuss buttons
and dates on them - since that is definitely a field of expertise, that I do
have (beyond my being a direct participant, in the decision making of these
events).
Also please look at the official October 11, 1987 March Program issued - it
list myself and the two 1979 March National co-chairs, as being the callers and
responsible for the Oct. 11 March happening then. Would you like to see that
document? Just contact any Gay archives and you can view a copy, if you do not
believe me.
