 Inn National Monument (https://www.nps.gov/ston/index.htm)\n\nStonewall is 
 regarded by many as the single most important catalyst for the dramatic 
 expansion of the LGBTQ+ civil rights movement. \n\nThe Stonewall Inn, a bar 
 located in Greenwich Village, New York City, was the scene of an uprising 
 against police repression that led to a key turning point in the struggle 
 for the civil rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBTQ+) 
 Americans. In a pattern of harassment of LGBTQ+ establishments, the New 
 York City police raided the Stonewall Inn in the early hours of Saturday, 
 June 28, 1969.\n\nThe initial raid and the riot that ensued in response led 
 to six days of demonstrations and conflicts with law enforcement outside 
 the bar, in nearby Christopher Park, and along neighboring streets. At its 
 peak, the crowds included several thousand people.\n\nBefore the 1960s 
 almost everything about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual, 
 transgender, or queer (LGBTQ+) person was illegal. New York City laws 
 against homosexual activities were particularly harsh. The Stonewall 
 Uprising on June 28, 1969 is a milestone in the quest for LGBTQ+ civil 
 rights and provided momentum for a movement. \n\nStonewall Inn, Christopher 
 Park, and portions of the surrounding neighborhood were declared a national 
 monument on June 24, 2016 by former President Barack 
 Obama.\n\nhttps://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2016/06/24/presidential-proclamation-establishment-stonewall-national-monument\n\n
