I finally visited Stonewall in 2018. Who knew it would become a national monument?
Sincerely,
Stonewall National Monument
This monument interprets the history of a watershed moment in the modern LGBTQ civil rights movement, when a week-long uprising in 1969 sparked sustained determination among LGBTQ Americans to fight for full equality and civil and human rights.
