Stonewall

A powerful firsthand account of the Stonewall riots and the birth of the modern gay rights movement

â€œWe, the people, declare today that the most evident of truthsâ€”that all of us are created equalâ€”is the star that guides us still, just as it guided our forebears through Seneca Falls, and Selma, and Stonewall.â€ â€”President Obama, 2013 Inaugural Address
Â
In the summer of 1969, the Stonewall Inn, one of the few places where gay men could gather, was a mafia-run unlicensed bar in New York Cityâ€™s Greenwich Village. An unforeseen raid on the night of June 28 by federal agents ignited the now-famous five days of Stonewall riots that kindled the nationâ€™s gay rights movement. Expertly weaving personal, eyewitness accounts of the riots, Martin Dubermanâ€™s Stonewall is an engrossing look at how six individuals, from distinctly different backgrounds, helped bring political and social awakening to the gay liberation movement.
