Monday October 21, 2:00p.m. via Zoom
Join us as we remember the 55th Anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, with a special film screening of “Stonewall Uprising” for LGBT History Month. Stonewall Uprising explores the dramatic event that launched a worldwide rights movement. When police raided a Mafia-run gay bar in Greenwich Village, the Stonewall Inn on June 28, 1969, gay men and women did something they had not done before: they fought back. As the streets of New York erupted into violent protests and street demonstrations, the collective anger announced that the gay rights movement had arrived. Presented by the Massasoit Film Society and Pride @ Massasoit.
In celebration of LGBT History Month, the Pride at Massasoit team is honored to host civil rights activists Paul Glass and Charles Evans, who will discuss their experiences as participants in the historic Stonewall Uprising. A fundamental moment in LGBTQ history in both the United States and abroad, these1969 protests marked a new beginning for gay rights and queer visibility, and laid the path for contemporary Pride celebrations and legal equity. .
Student Lounge. The event includes drum music, dance, indigenous food, and local resource
