The Stonewall Uprising of 1969 at a Gay Dancing Bar in New York was the begging of the Gay Rights Movement which spread nationwide and around the world. On June 28, 1969 Gays resisted the arrests and assaults of New York Policemen at a raid in the Stonewall. This set off riots and protests that lasted a week long. The author was among the participants, and he gives his account of the raid and the arrests.
