Happy Pride month y‘all!
Four years ago, as part of their Heritage Initiative, the National Park Service released “a comprehensive, first-of-its-kind project to explore how the legacy of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer individuals can be recognized, preserved and interpreted for future generations.”
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤎🤍 Happy reading!

Not a casual read, I recommend this academic work for anyone with a serious interest in the NPS and Women's Equality.

I‘ve been glued to the news this week. This book added to my anger and anxiety. #ibelieveher #nps #cvnp
“Was it crazy, she wondered, to be as grateful as she felt now, for moments like this, in a world that had atomic bombs in it- and concentration camps, and gas chambers?”

Trying to avoid political posting in Litsy, as this is a sanity haven, but this image from a supporter of Alt NPS, the social media activists speaking out in the shut down of comms from the national parks, is too good not to share. Someone should write this novel! Park rangers leading the resistance actually makes perfect sense! Check out www.altnps.org if you want to learn more. #dystopian #rebelrangers #science #nps
In 2015 I was one of 300 people selected by the National Parks Service to re-create the Selma to Montgomery march on its 50th anniversary. The day before we were to arrive in the city of Montgomery Amelia Boynton was driven by our line of modern-day foot soldiers to give us encouragement. I will never forget that moment.
First coffee, then a visit to another national park. Who doesn't love our national parks? #nps #nps100 #findyourpark #feelgoodbook #augustphotochallenge
