Dr. Bill Virtual Presentations: Stonewall Heritage

June 30 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Stonewall Heritage

The Stonewall Riots that began the night of June 28th, 1969, were the culmination of untold years of abuse heaped on the LGBTQ+ community. Though the Stonewall uprising didn’t start the gay rights movement, it was a galvanizing force for LGBTQ+ political activism, leading to the creation of numerous gay rights organizations such as the Gay Liberation Front, Human Rights Campaign, GLAAD, and more. Today, the Respect for Marriage Act, positive portrayals of LGBTQ+ characters in movies and television, and countless Pride events are just some of the benefits that might not have been possible if the people at Stonewall hadn’t stood their ground on a hot summer’s night in Greenwich Village. This program explores the lead-up and the after-effects of this pivotal event.

Tuesday, June 30 • @ 3:00pm • Free!
