Overview
Stonewall National Monument in Greenwich Village honors the site of the 1969 Stonewall Uprising, a defining moment in the modern LGBTQ rights movement, when patrons resisted a police raid on the Stonewall Inn. It centers on Christopher Park and surrounding streets, with the Stonewall Inn still open across the street, and is a place for remembrance and celebration.
