Also called the Stonewall Rebellion or the Stonewall Uprising, those involved were fighting for the rights of the LGBTQ community to be safe in the spaces they created. This turned into a six-day protest lead by many community leaders, including Marsha P.
This resulted in bar patrons, staff, and neighborhood residents taking to the streets to protest the violent actions of the police. On that date, the police raided the Stonewall Inn, a gay club in Greenwich Village.
