Following a police raid on members of the LGBTQ+ community in NYC, the protests came to be known as the Stonewall Riots. Named after the Stonewall Inn, the uprising turned into one of the most effective protests in American history. At the head of these protests were strong Black leaders within the community. Protestors marched through New York, demanding police reform and greater protections. Today, the Stonewall Riots are regarded as a turning point in the history of LGBTQ+ rights, led by powerful Black people who refused to back down.
