THE BOOK OF PRIDE captures the true story of the gay rights movement from the 1960s to the present, through richly detailed, stunning interviews with the leaders, activists, and ordinary people who witnessed the movement and made it happen. These individuals fought battles both personal and political, often without the support of family or friends, frequently under the threat of violence and persecution. By shining a light on these remarkable stories of bravery and determination, THE BOOK OF PRIDE not only honors an important chapter in American history, but also empowers young people today (both LGBTQ and straight) to discover their own courage in order to create positive change. Furthermore, it serves a critically important role in ensuring the history of the LGBTQ movement can never be erased, inspiring us to resist all forms of oppression with ferocity, community, and, most importantly, pride.

The founder and executive director of OUTWORDS, Mason Funk, introduces and contextualizes each of the more than 70 first-person accounts of liberation, disruption, survival, and other experiences collected by the organization to document LGBTQ+ history. Reaching back to the pre-Stonewall era, the whole offers an intersectional tapestry of causes, gender, sexual orientation, race, and class identities. Robin Miles and Kevin R. Free provide standout performances, each delivering accounts from interviewees in compelling tones and fitting accents . Eileen Stevens's young-sounding voice clashes with passages that quote 70- and 80-year-olds. Both Charles Constant and Rick Adamson speak in neutral tones and accents. This potent oral history provides fresh and inclusive details of the LGBTQ+ community as seen by their elders. F.M.R.G. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
