"I'm not missing a minute of this. It's the Revolution!"—Sylvia Rivera
As we mark the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, we’re also reflecting on its unfinished promises and the people who were left out of its vision of liberty and equality. New Yorkers have long been at the center of the unfinished revolutions that followed.
Join Ashley Hopkins-Benton, Senior Historian and Curator of Social History at the New York State Museum, at Common Roots Albany Outpost for a conversation about the events at the Stonewall Inn in June 1969, a defining moment that helped ignite the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement.
We’ll look at how it began, why bars were essential spaces for queer community life, and how that uprising sparked decades of organizing that continues today.
This fun, interactive program is free to attend. Food and drink are not included, but are available for individual purchase at the venue.
