Stonewall Inn Historic Marker. New York City.

The June 1969 uprising at New York City's Stonewall Inn marked a raucous turning point in the fight for LGBT rights.

In the early hours of June 28, 1969, a police raid of the Stonewall Inn exploded into a riot when patrons of the LGBT bar resisted arrest and clashed with police. The Stonewall Riots are widely considered to be the start of the LGBT rights movement in the United States. In this lesson, students analyze four documents to answer the question: What caused the Stonewall Riots?

This year is a major historic notch for our community. It marks the 50th anniversary of Stonewall. If you weren’t already aware, within 60 days, not only you but everyone will begin to notice leading up to that last Sunday in June, since most of the TV networks and scores of museums and cultural institutions will unveil their ways of commemorating Stonewall 50.
