Administrative history
The National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights was a grassroots effort to bring together gay and lesbian people and their supporters from across the nation to execute a celebration and demonstration in Washington, D.C., on October 14, 1979. The march was first proposed in Autumn 1978 by an ad hoc committee in Minneapolis, but didn't gain momentum until the assassination of Harvey Milk in November of that year.
The Los Angeles March on Washington Committee formed in 1979 to facilitate local participation in the march. In November 1979, the Los Angeles committee would change its name to the Los Angeles Committee for the March on Sacramento, and in February 1980, to the March Committee for Gay and Lesbian Rights/Los Angeles.
