In the early hours of June 28, 1969, a New York City police raid on Stonewall Inn sparked riots and demonstrations in the surrounding streets that lasted several nights. These events catalyzed a nationwide movement that united gay and lesbian people in the push for equal rights for all people, regardless of sexual orientation or identity. Stonewall National Monument is located in Christopher Park, part of New York City's Historic Greenwich Village. The monument sits across the street from The Stonewall Inn, a National Historic Landmark known for its involvement in the beginning of the modern struggle for civil rights of gay and lesbian Americans. The Stonewall Inn is a private establishment and working bar. NewsStay up to date with news about the new national monument.
