Michigan's first Pride: LGBTQ+ historymakers look back on Christopher Street Detroit '72 march

In recognition of Pride Month, One Detroit examines Michigan’s contributions to LGBTQ+ history. One Detroit’s Bill Kubota, Zosette Guir and Chris Jordan take an in-depth look at Christopher Street Detroit ‘72, Michigan’s first LGBTQ+ Pride celebration in June of 1972. They heard from people who were at the Christopher Street Detroit celebration 53 years ago, including Merrilee Melvin, Jaye Spiro, and Susan Swope. Plus, they talk with Tim Retzloff, who teaches history and LGBTQ+ studies at Michigan State University. He collaborated with artist Isabel Clare Paul to create “Come Out! In Detroit,” a comic book dedicated to telling the story of the Christopher Street Detroit ‘72 celebration, which included a march in downtown Detroit. And, Kathy Kozachenko, the nation’s first openly gay political candidate to win an elected office, talks about her reasons for running and her activism efforts today. Watch "One Detroit" Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. ET and Sundays at 9:30 a.m. ET on Detroit PBS (Channel 56). Stream "One Detroit" on-demand on the PBS App, YouTube TV, Hulu, and more.
