Description
Peri Jude Radicec, Deputy Director of the National Gay Lesbian Task Force (sponsored by EAGLE-Omaha), walking on folding tables toward Patrick (Pat) Phalen (ICON Emperor VI) who is holding a microphone, presumably preparing to address a probable crowd of people at the PRIDE Parade and Festival held at Turner Park in Omaha, Nebraska while surrounded by flags each color of the rainbow (made by Terry Sweeney and Patrick (Pat) Phalen), a PRIDE rainbow flag, the United States of America flag, and the Nebraska state flag.
[NOTE: Every year, in July, the Imperial Court of Nebraska (ICON) elects and Emperor and Empress. These individuals are the public face of the organization both in town and across the nation. Patrick (Pat) Phalen was elected as Emperor VI in 1985.]
