jun 28, 1969 - Stonewall Riots
Description:
A raid on Stonewall Inn in Manhattan at 1:20 AM does not go to plan. Police take all that are present to police station and start arresting cross dressers. Unrest began to build and when a transvestite was hit with a baton and asked if anyone was going to do anything a mob broke out. People came from other buildings when they realized what was happening and started fighting back against the police.
