Tompkins Square Park: January 4, 1994
A march down Avenue B in memory of Terry Taylor, another homeless Tompkins Square activist who died of AIDS. January 4, 1994
By 1991, the estimated 300 homeless people living in Tompkins Square Park were gone and the park was forcefully closed for renovations. After its reopening in summer 1992, the Lower East Side quickly started to transform into one of the most high-rent communities in New York.

I actually think this is on 8th Street, and the procession is heading east away from Avenue B. On the left, in the background, you can see the side of St Brigid's Church.
