Morning Brief: June 26

New York City will be ending Pride Week on Sunday with Pride March. The first march took place in 1970, and it is now considered to be the nation’s largest pride march. The organization NYC Pride says the march is a civil rights demonstration. The march, scheduled to start at 12 P.M., will begin at 36th Street and Fifth Avenue and end at Christopher and Greenwich Streets.
