The flag featured on the banners is the Progress Pride flag, which features black and brown stripes to portray LGBTQ+ communities of color and baby blue, pink, and white to incorporate the transgender flag, as well as the intersex flag (yellow and purple circle).
The Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine, Columbia University, Jewish Theological Seminary, Manhattan School of Music, The Riverside Church, Teachers College, and Union Theological Seminary all contributed as part of the MorningPride project.
This is not the first time MAA has embarked on a banner project. In 2016, responding to the travel ban, immigration, and affronts to student visas, the alliance sponsored an "All Are Welcome Here" banner campaign to "reflect the feelings of inclusivity experienced in Morningside Heights," Beisser said.
