NEW YORK (AP) — Exuber-
ant crowds carrying rain-
bow colors filled New York
City streets Sunday for one
of the largest pride pa-
rades in the history of the
gay-rights movement, a
dazzling celebration of the
50th anniversary of the in-
famous police raid on the
Stonewall Inn.
Marchers and onlookers
took over much of midtown
Manhattan with a proces-
sion that lasted hours and
paid tribute to the uprising
that began at the tavern
when patrons resisted of-
ficers on June 28, 1969. The
parade in New York and
others like it across the na-
tion concluded a month
of events marking the an-
niversary.
Eraina Clay, 63, of subur-
ban New Rochelle, came
to celebrate a half-century
of fighting for equality.
