The David Helton Collection was donated to the LaBudde Special Collections in March of 2013. This collection is comprised of newspaper clippings about and photographs of the Second National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights on October 11, 1987 and the March on Washington for Lesbian, Gay and Bi Equal Rights and Liberation on April 25, 1993. The photos are of Kansas City participants and others in both marches. The newspaper clippings date from 1987 and feature coverage of the March and other associated activities. Included is a special edition of The Gay News-Telegraph detailing Missourians experience of the 1987 March, and a broadside advocating for an alternative view of the source of the AIDS epidemic.
