Testimony from Stonewall Historian David Carter
The Stonewall Uprising was a series of street demonstrations by the LGBT population against the police that centered around the gay club known as the Stonewall Inn. The demonstrations began spontaneously early in the morning of Saturday, June 28, 1969, when the morals police carried out a more muscular than usual raid on the club. On the first night hundreds of protestors forced the police to retreat inside the club they had raided. When the trapped police were rescued by the Tactical Patrol Force, more commonly known as the riot police, a fight for control of the streets around the Stonewall club ensued. This contest endured for a total of six nights, eventually involving thousands of protestors, an effort to claim, to use more recent terminology, LGBT space.
