- Description
- Audrey Barnett interviews Peter Burleigh. In the virtual interview, Peter starts by describing his time working for the State Department and concurrently coming out in his personal life as gay. He then transitions into discussing his experiences with HIV/AIDS in DC, including his partner's diagnosis as positive and Peter's role as a caregiver.

- Protesters hold signs ("Free Angela Davis", "No Vietnamese ever called me a nigger!") on the back of a truck during anti-war demonstrations, possibly Vietnam War Out Now, 17-24 April 1971

- Description
- This image was labeled May Day (5-3-1971). The May Day protests, organized by the May Day Tribe, were meant shutdown the federal government. The protests started on May 1, 1971 and continued for the next several days in Washington, D.C. Upon further review, some of the images in this grouping are most likely from the April 24, 1971 Vietnam War Out Now rally organized by the National Peace Action Coalition (NPAC), an umbrella organization comprised of approximately 100 activist groups. This particular event also featured support from the United Auto Workers, the United Farm Workers of California, and segments of the Teamsters. The demonstration is against the invasion of Cambodia for immediate withdraw of all US forces from Southeast Asia. The event featured several prominent speakers such as Reverend Ralph Abernathy of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, Senator Vance Hartke, Bella Abzug and Herman Badillo, Members of Congress. Also addressing the Capitol Hill Convocation were I.F. Stone, Betty Friedan and Joseph Duffey. There were also several smaller protests leading up to Vietnam War Out Now, including Vietnam veteran demonstrations against the war and women's contingent demonstrations.
