About this place Gay Pioneers Marker — Annual Reminders at Independence Hall

This Pennsylvania state historical marker stands at 6th and Chestnut, outside Independence Hall. It commemorates the Annual Reminders. Every Fourth of July from 1965 to 1969, gay and lesbian activists picketed here in single file to demand civil rights. Frank Kameny and Philadelphia's Barbara Gittings were among the main organisers. The dress code was strict, with jackets and ties for men and dresses for women. The pickets came four years before Stonewall, and after 1969 the organisers moved their energy to New York's first Pride march. The marker is free to see at any hour. Most of the Google reviews you'll find are for Independence Hall itself.

I visited Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is known as the building where both the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution were signed. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and tours are led by National Park Service rangers.

You need to book to get on some of the tours. One tour is just turn up on the day. Check out based on your needs. The tours and in particular the tour guides were excellent, learned so much about US history in short period of time.
