The definitive account of the Stonewall riots, the first gay rights march, and the LGBTQ activists at the center of the movement.

“Martin Duberman is a national treasure.” (Masha Gessen, The New Yorker)

On June 28, 1969, the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in New York's Greenwich Village, was raided by police. But instead of responding with the typical compliance the NYPD expected, patrons and a growing crowd decided to fight back. The five days of rioting that ensued changed forever the face of gay and lesbian life.

In Stonewall, renowned historian and activist Martin Duberman tells the full story of this pivotal moment in history. With riveting narrative skill, he re-creates those revolutionary, sweltering nights in vivid detail through the lives of six people who were drawn into the struggle for LGBTQ rights. Their stories combine to form an unforgettable portrait of the repression that led up to the riots, which culminates when they triumphantly participate in the first gay rights march of 1970, the roots of today's pride marches.

Fifty years after the riots, Stonewall remains a rare work that evokes with a human touch an event in history that still profoundly affects life today.

Listened while walking my dog and by the end I was crying. The city workers got to see me crying while I finished this as I was crying and politely just went about their business.

This is a great telling of the history of, not only the Stonewall riots but also, the state of growing up gay in 1950’s, 60’s and 70’s America.

Very interesting.

This went into much more detail than I expected. Still worth finishing, just more detail than I wanted.

Way too long and into the weeds

It jumped around a lot to hit all the different topics and events but it was pretty easy to follow. Very interesting and will probably listen to more than once.

Good portrayal of historical events
