Book Review:

Remember the Main tells the story of a generation

who found their cause and their community at

Jansen’s club. Their activism bridged the gap

between the relatively closeted culture of the 1950s

and the open advocacy of the 1990s and 2000s.

Although the 1969 Stonewall riots are a well-known

turning point in the fight for equality, Remember the

Main draws attention to a less dramatic but

significant, sustained regional effort. Weaving

together oral history, biography, and social critique,

Meg Gorzycki chronicles the highs and lows of the

local fight for human rights, legal protection, and

health care for LGBTQ Americans.
