On June 28, 1969, members of the LGBTQ community resisted a discriminatory police raid at the Stonewall Inn in New York City. The ensuing rebellion lasted five nights and served as a galvanizing moment for the community to unite and spark a global movement for liberation and LGBTQ rights. That movement continues.
