| Description: | Select Guide Rating A history of the Stonewall riots, the first Gay Rights March, and the LGBTQ activists at the centre of the movement. On June 28, 1969, the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in New York''s Greenwich Village, was raided by police. But instead of responding with the routine compliance the NYPD expected, patrons and a growing crowd decided to fight back. The five days of rioting that ensued changed forever the face of gay and lesbian life. In Stonewall, renowned historian and activist Martin Duberman tells the full story of this pivotal moment in history. With riveting narrative skill, he recreates those revolutionary, sweltering nights in vivid detail through the lives of six people who were drawn into the struggle for LGBTQ rights. |
