520    The Right Side of History tells the 100-year history of 
       queer activism in a series of revealing close-ups, first-
       person accounts, and intimate snapshots of LGBT pioneers 
       and radicals. This diverse cast stretches from the 
       Edwardian period to today.  Described by gay scholar 
       Jonathan Katz as "willfully cacophonous, a chorus of 
       voices untamed," The Right Side of History sets itself 
       apart by starting with the turn-of-the-century bohemianism
       of Isadora Duncan and the 1924 establishment of the 
       nation’s first gay group, the Society for Human Rights; it
       also includes gay activism of labor unions in the 1920s 
       and 1930s; the 1950s civil rights movement; the 1960s anti
       -war protests; the sexual liberation movements of the 
       1970s; and more contemporary issues such as marriage 
       equality.  The book shows how LGBT folk have always been 
       in the forefront of progressive social evolution in the 
       United States. It references heroes like Abraham Lincoln, 
       Eleanor Roosevelt, Bayard Rustin, Harvey Milk, and Edie 
       Windsor. Equally, the book honors names that aren’t in 
       history books, from participants in the Names Project, a 
       national phenomenon memorializing 94,000 AIDS victims, to 
       underground agitprop artists.
