- Title
The designation of Stonewall National Monument: Path and impact.
- Authors
JARVIS, JONATHAN B.; SPRINGATE, MEGAN E.
- Abstract
This article provides two different perspectives on the designation of Stonewall National Monument, which was proclaimed by President Obama in 2016. First, former National Park Service (NPS) Director Jonathan Jarvis shares his experiences leading up to and beyond the designation. In the second section, Megan Springate places Stonewall into the larger context of the NPS Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ+) heritage initiative and the preparation of LGBTQ America, the LGBTQ+ theme study, which is a document commissioned by the National Park Foundation for the National Park Service. These theme studies, which canvass a particular theme in American history, typically (but, as we shall see, not always) include a comparative analysis of properties that might be nominated as national historic landmarks.
