"At 3:00 a.m. on June 28, 1969, New York City police raided the Stonewall Inn, a bar catering to homosexuals, on Christopher Street in the city's bohemian Greenwich Village section. The raid itself, for alleged violation of liquor laws, was not unusual. Police often targeted such bars and their patrons for harassment. But what followed was very unusual. Instead of passively allowing the police to shut the bar down, as the police expected, and as homosexuals had typically done in the past, the bar's patrons and sympathizers from the neighborhood fought back. They threw trash at the police and rioted for nearly an hour."
