Nearly 20 years later, he would document the voices of revolutionary LGBTQ activists like Marsha P. Johnson, Sylvia Rivera and Frank Kameny for his book, "Making Gay History: The Half-Century Fight for Lesbian and Gay Equal Rights."
While his work started out as a printed oral history, Marcus knew that taping those interviews would "one day have value beyond my book."
