We are re-sharing this amazing quote from Dr. Bob We are re-sharing this amazing quote from Dr. Bob Nelson, superintendent of Fresno Unified. This is a clip from our delivery to Fresno in October 2021. Dr. Nelson said so many incredible things, but one thing is clear. He knows he has a hard job, but he also knows that being a kid in a hateful community, is harder.

Did you know that PRIDE started as a riot? June i Did you know that PRIDE started as a riot? June is Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Pride Month. This started as Gay Pride Day to honor the 1969 Stonewall riots in New York. The Stonewall Riots began in the early hours of June 28, 1969, when New York City police raided the Stonewall Inn, a gay club located in Greenwich Village in New York City. The raid sparked a riot among bar patrons and neighborhood residents as police roughly hauled employees and patrons out of the bar, leading to six days of protests and violent clashes with law enforcement. Today we celebrate Pride month with parades and events to promote equal rights and an end to LGBT discrimination. We believe it is important to teach our children the importance of LGBTQ rights and what Pride means to so many around the world. In celebration, with your donation of $100 or more, we are giving away a copy of PRIDE: The Story of Harvey Milk and the Rainbow Flag.
