Stonewall National Monument – New York

Images of Stonewall National Monument – Southeastern New York, taken in May 2022.

On June 28, 1969 New York City Police raided the Stonewall Inn on Christopher Street based on the strict laws of the time which banned lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT) activities of any kind including serving alcoholic beverages to a homosexual. The raid immediately sparked an uprising at the Stonewall Inn and throughout the Greenwich Village District which lasted for days and was the predecessor of today’s LGBTQIA+ movement.

Stonewall National Monument, established in 2016, encompasses the Stonewall Inn itself along with Christopher Park and many of the streets in the immediate area.
