SUMMARY:Pride Movie Matinee: Stonewall Uprising
DESCRIPTION:Grab your popcorn for this program series! Tuesdays in June we’re showing a series of films for Pride Month in our Activity Room! Features include a Hayes-code era classic\, a teen coming of age\, parents helping their son propose\, and a documentary. Snacks provided\, no registration required. \nStonewall Uprising (2010)\, TV14\, 1hr 22min\nIn the early morning hours of June 28\, 1969\, police raided the Stonewall Inn\, a popular gay bar in the Greenwich Village section of New York City. Such raids were not unusual in the late 1960s\, an era when homosexual sex was illegal in every state but Illinois. That night\, however\, the street erupted into violent protests and demonstrations that lasted for the next six days. \nThe Stonewall riots\, as they came to be known\, marked a major turning point in the modern gay civil rights movement in the United States and around the world. \nPublic performance rights provided through Kanopy
