On Friday, June 24th, 2011 we gathered at Tompkins Square Park to participate in the NYC Drag March. After a ceremonial circle prayer we started to march west towards the Stonewall Inn, site of the Stonewall riots of 1969, which is considered to be the single most important event leading to the gay liberation movement and the modern fight for gay and lesbian rights in the United States.
On the night of the 18th Annual NYC Drag March, I was fortunate to be part of the celebration that took place at Stonewall. For it was the night when New York voted to make Marriage Equality the law of it's land!
Monument Avenue is one of the main thoroughfares in Richmond, Virginia. I got this shot while enroute
to Richmond's Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden with my flickr contact John H. Bowman on April 21, 2012. This monument to the Confederate general Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson is one of several along the avenue that honors people prominent in Virginia history.
Considered the most talented Confederate commander after General Robert E. Lee, Jackson (Jan. 21, 1824 - May 10, 1863) was wounded by friendly fire in the battle of Chancellorsville and died eight days later of pneumonia at Guinea Station, south of Fredericksburg.
Stonewall Jackson Training School in Concord NC is a sad place. A place where young boys were mistreated. A place that is abandoned and falling apart. Yet a place that is full of questions and intrigue and amazing photo opportunities. You never know what is lurking in the shadows, behind the doors or in the reflections in the window panes.

Lieutenant General "Stonewall" Jackson's full name was Thomas Jonathan Jackson. Jackson was given the nickname for bravery at the first Battle of Manassas (Bull Run), "standing like a stone wall." General Jackson was instrumental in the Confederate victories at Second Manassas, Antietem, and the Battle of Chancellorsville. Jackson died at age 39, as a result of "friendly fire" at Chancellorsville in 1863, after some of his own men mistook him in the darkness and shot him. His monument was unveiled on Oct. 11, 1919 sitting at the corner of Monument Avenue and the Boulevard. His statue faces North with Jackson sitting on his horse holding his reigns in his left hand and his hat in his right.

Before departing from my visit with flickr contact John H. Bowman on April 24, 2012 , we took a quick
tour around Richmond's Capitol Square, quite close to the Main Street Station where I would board
the train for my trip home.
This monument to the Confederate general Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson (1824-1863) is on the
north side of Capitol Square. Considered the most talented Confederate commander after General
Robert E. Lee, Jackson was wounded by friendly fire in the battle of Chancellorsville and died eight
days later of pneumonia at Guinea Station, south of Fredericksburg (see adjoining photo in my photostream).
The Stonewall Jackson Memorial Cemetery began as the burial ground for the old Lexington Presbyterian Church in 1789. General Stonewall Jackson, 144 Confederate veterens, two Virginia govenors, John Letcher and James McDowell, and Margaret Junkin Preston, the Civil War Poet Laureate of the South are buried in the cemetery.
