I honestly don't remember what I was doing forty years ago today, and I don't remember anything about this until I read about it later in the Voice. Still, as we look back, it's clear that the Stonewall riots were, in their own way, as significant as Rosa Parks refusing to get off the bus.
It's worth watching this video of people who were there.
Frank Rich has a well done op-ed in Sunday’s NYT providing cultural context.
Thanks for posting the video.

I don’t have your email, but it was a pleasure meeting you at the BBQ yesterday. You were interested in our interview with the woman from Uganda who works for the New Sudan Education Initiative and it is now posted on our blog, enjoy! http://asrblog.com
