Stonewall Riots Panel Discussion, June 13th
Witness: 50 Years of Change for Law Enforcement and the LGBTQ Community
On June 28, 1969, members of New York City’s LGBTQ community led a series of violent street demonstrations in response to a raid on the Stonewall Inn, a popular gay bar in Greenwich Village. The riots were a pivotal moment in the gay political movement. A year later, the first Gay Pride marches honored the one-year anniversary of the riots. Join our panelists to learn more about this important event in American history, and how the relationship between law enforcement and the LGBT community has changed over the last fifty years.
