Stonewall Riots 40th Anniversary: A Look Back at the Uprising that Launched the Modern Gay Rights Movement

Commemorations are being held across the world this weekend to mark the fortieth anniversary of the Stonewall uprising that launched the modern gay and lesbian rights movement. The uprising began in the morning on June 28, 1969, when New York City police officers raided a gay bar called the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village. As the police began dragging some of the patrons out, members of the gay community decided to fight back, sparking three days of rioting. We play a documentary, Remembering Stonewall, with the voices of people who were there and speak with historian David Carter. Ref. Source 4

President Obama has designated New York's Stonewall Inn and the surrounding area as the first national monument to the LGBT rights movement.

"I believe our national parks should reflect the full story of our country -- the richness and diversity and uniquely American spirit that has always defined us, that we are stronger than ever. That out of many, we are one," Obama said in a video released by the White House.

In the early morning of June 28, 1969, a police raid on the Stonewall Inn -- a typical occurrence at gay bars in the 1960s -- made history when patrons fought back. Ref. CNN.
