Bronx, NY - On June 30th, 2024, Bronx Borough President Vanessa L. Gibson was joined by her Bronx LGBTQIA+ Task Force, Destination Tomorrow, and other groups in the Annual New York City Pride Parade. Borough President Gibson greeted spectators while on the route that began at 25th and 5th Avenue before turning west onto 8th Street towards Christopher Street in front of the Stonewall Monument commemorating the anniversary of the June 28th, 1969, Stonewall Uprising that was marked by violent confrontations with the police that lasted for six days, touching off a new level of activism that spread nationwide. Marchers then headed north on 7th Avenue to pass the New York City AIDS Memorial, before ending at 16th Street.
