Reflecting On The Stonewall Uprising Of 50 Years Ago And St. Louis' LGBTQ History

Описание к видео Reflecting On The Stonewall Uprising Of 50 Years Ago And St. Louis' LGBTQ History

In the wee hours of a Saturday morning in the summer of 1969, nine New York City police officers entered Greenwich Village’s small Stonewall Inn. Police raids of gay bars were a frequent occurrence at the time, but this particular instance was different. This time, people around the Stonewall fought back, and the ensuing several days of confrontation between police and activists greatly accelerated the growth of the gay rights movement. St. Louis Public Radio’s Jeremy D. Goodwin talks with Steven Louis Brawley, Paul Thiel and Miranda Rectenwald, reflecting on the Stonewall uprising of 50 years ago and what was happening among the local LGBTQ community at that time.
