#OnThisDay in 1969, at New York City's Stonewall Inn, police conducted a violent raid that led to the Stonewall Uprising. This protest expanded to surrounding streets – growing to as many as several thousand participants and lasting six days.
Stonewall National Monument preserves this historical event's initial location, considered one of the most significant turning points in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights.
