In 1969, the Stonewall riots, sparked by a police raid, became a pivotal moment that ignited the global fight for LGBTQ+ rights.
The Stonewall Inn was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2000, recognizing its crucial role in the LGBTQ+ civil rights movement.
Before becoming a symbol of pride, the building served as a stable and a bakery in the 19th century!
The name 'Stonewall' was inspired by the stone wall that surrounded the original building when it was a stable.
Today, it hosts drag shows, live music, and community events, continuing its legacy as a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community.
In 2016, President Obama designated the area around the Stonewall Inn as the first U.S. National Monument dedicated to LGBTQ+ rights.
