Pride Month — ‘Stonewall Uprising’ Documentary and Discussion (In-Person)Wednesday, June 21, 6:30—8:30 pm co-sponsored by Bethel CT Pride & Mark Twain Library.
When police raided the Stonewall Inn, a popular gay bar in the Greenwich Village section of New York City on June 28, 1969, the street erupted into violent protests that lasted for the next six days. The Stonewall riots, as they came to be known, marked a major turning point in the modern gay civil rights movement in the United States and around the world.
Join us to view this 90-minute PBS documentary that traces the evolution of the American gay rights movement, explains the circumstances surrounding the uprising, and discusses the event’s enduring legacy.
