West Village in Manhattan in New York County, New York — The American Northeast (Mid-Atlantic)
Stonewall Forever
Step Inside a Living Monument to 50 Years of Pride
In the summer of 1969, brave individuals from the LGBTQ community stood up against years of oppression at the Stonewall Inn. The Stonewall Riots were the symbolic spark that ignited the modern LGBTQ rights movement.
50 years later, the legacy of Stonewall lives on in every Pride march, every member of the LGBTQ community and now it lives in Stonewall Forever.
The LGBT Community Center of New York created this digital monument so everyone, everywhere can explore this crucial history and add their own piece to the ever-growing story of Pride.
Here in Christopher Park, you're invited to step inside Stonewall Forever in augmented reality on your mobile device.
Erected 2021 by The LGBT Community Center of New York; National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior; with support from Google.
