Militante’s photos offer a fascinating glimpse of the early days of Pride. By the late 60s, however, she had discovered Second Wave Feminism and become a self-described “raging full-blown feminist lesbian,” devoting herself to political action-and documenting her participation with her camera. Over the next decade, the Chicago parades grew and grew, attracting participants like Militante.īorn in 1942, Eunice Hundseth arrived in Chicago in 1960, studying art and honing her talent as a photographer before marrying Vincente Militante and taking a job at Evanston Hospital. Organized by Chicago Gay Liberation and attended by around 150 people in total, the Chicago march passed through the Michigan Avenue shopping district before arriving at Daley Plaza, with marchers listening to speeches, dancing, and chanting slogans along the way. The following year, marches were scheduled to coincide with the anniversary of Stonewall in New York City, San Francisco, LA, and Chicago, where the march began in Bughouse Square, directly across from the Newberry.
The first Pride marches were inspired by the Stonewall riots in New York City-a series of protests by the city’s gay community against the storming by police of the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in Greenwich Village, on June 28, 1969.
The collection includes photographs documenting Pride Parades of the 70s, as well as informal photographs of life among women in the lesbian and feminist communities in Chicago.
Her photographs are part of the Eunice Hundseth Militante Photograph Collection, a large archive of materials associated with Militante just acquired by the Newberry.
