June 28 1969, a gay bar in the West Village of Manhattan became the epicentre of an event that changed the course of LGBT history.
The days of riots which followed the uprising against police who frequently targeted The Stonewall Inn along with other gay bars were momentous.
Led by activists Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, trans women of colour, the riots sparked an entire civil rights movement the reason why we celebrate Pride Month in June.
A few weeks ago Man Cub and I were at B & N. We were in the children‘s section and I was impressed with the multiple LGBTQ+ books. These were just 3 of them on Stonewall (there were several more) #pridemonth 🏳️🌈
I was not aware of this being the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots. I was not aware of the Stonewall Riots until about three years ago when I watched the ALA Youth Media Awards live.
This will be my first read during Pride month. I‘m looking forward to learning and then sharing my learning with others.
