In June 1969, patrons of popular New York City gay club Stonewall Inn gathered to protest ongoing raids and harassment conducted by law enforcement. This uprising marked the beginning of the gay rights movement in America.

Join us for a special presentation with historian Alex Hortis as he discusses:

  • The integral role the Mob played in controlling New York gay clubs
