Obama admin to announce initiative on LGBT history at Stonewall Inn
Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell will announce plans Friday at the historic Stonewall Inn in New York City for a new, groundbreaking study on LGBT history, according to three sources familiar with the event.
Peggy Phalan, general manager of the Stonewall Inn, was among those who said the event will take place at Stonewall Inn on Friday, but she had limited information on the planned study that will be announced.
They do field studies for different groups, and theyre starting one for the LGBT community, Phalan said.
Although the nature of the study wasnt immediately clear, sources described the initiative as historic in nature. An Interior Department official said the initiative would be headed by the National Park Service and ensure the agency is telling a complete story of Americas heritage and history.
