Description
The Stonewall Riots: A pivotal moment in history that changed America forever. On June 28, 1969, the Stonewall Inn was raided by police, sparking five days of rioting that would change the face of gay and lesbian life. Renowned historian Martin Duberman tells the full story of this pivotal moment in his book, weaving together the lives of six people who were drawn into the struggle for LGBTQ rights. Their stories form an unforgettable portrait of the repression that led up to the riots, culminating in their triumph at the first gay rights march of 1970. Fifty years after the riots, Stonewall remains a powerful work that evokes with a human touch an event in history that still profoundly affects life today.
