The renowned LGBTQ historian pens ?both a fascinating account of the
birth of gay liberation and a replay of the turbulent,
society-changing 60s.? (San Francisco Chronicle). ?We, the people,
declare today that the most evident of truths?that all of us are
created equal?is the star that guides us still, just as it guided our
forebears through Seneca Falls, and Selma, and Stonewall.? ?President
Obama, 2013 Inaugural Address ? In the summer of 1969, the Stonewall
Inn, one of the few places where gay men could gather, was a mafia-run
unlicensed bar in New York City?s Greenwich Village. An unforeseen
raid on the night of June 28 by federal agents ignited the now-famous
five days of Stonewall riots that kindled the nation?s gay rights
movement. Expertly weaving personal, eyewitness accounts of the riots,
Martin Duberman?s Stonewall is an engrossing look at how six
individuals, from distinctly different backgrounds, helped bring
political and social awakening to the gay liberation movement.
