Heritage of Pride organizers is in the final stretch of planning for Sunday's NYC Pride March , which it has produced for 40 years.
"It's a 40-year legacy of being entrusted by the community to keep the spirit of the Stonewall Riots alive," said Sandra Perez, Executive Director of Heritage of Pride."There was a point in my life that the NYC Pride March felt like it was for others," Perez said."Really being able to represent all of the intersections that our community has, is really a wonderful experience. It's a privilege to serve here." Perez said.
The first Pride March was in 1970, the year after the Stonewall uprising. Heritage of Pride began producing the event 15 years later, helping it become the powerful and inclusive march it is today.Heritage of Pride also puts on events for children and families."This is about love, so we do it with love and generosity.
