Major Marches Planned for 50th Anniversary of Stonewall Uprising

HeadlineJun 28, 2019

Today marks the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall uprising. On this day in 1969, the New York Police Department raided the Stonewall Inn, a gay- and trans-friendly bar in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village. It triggered an uprising and helped launch the modern-day LGBTQ rights movement. In New York, two major marches are planned on Sunday: the New York City Heritage of Pride parade and the alternative, noncorporate Queer Liberation March.
