Historic Overview

The Stonewall Uprising of 1969 began as a protest against a police raid on a New York City gay bar and quickly grew into days of resistance against harassment, brutality, and systemic discrimination. Widely regarded as a catalyst for the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement, Stonewall brought visibility, unity, and urgency to the fight for equality. This webinar will examine the uprising’s impact on gay liberation, what really happened that night, and Stonewall’s connections to larger activist movements.
