content: A color photographic slide of activist Marsha P. Johnson marching in a gay rights demonstration. Johnson looks directly at the camera, smiling, and holding a black quilt with gold, purple, and white embellishments, while she herself wears black apparel with silver sequin collar and cuffs, with rhinestone earrings and necklaces. She also carries a gray fur stole over her proper right shoulder. In the background, individuals can be seen carrying a pink banner with the word [LESBIAN] written on the top. The front of the gray encasement that houses the slide is dated [OCT 82W4] and [City Chant 2] is handwritten in pencil just above the photo.
