Celebrate the
fiftieth anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising with the very first
picture book to tell of its historic and inspiring role in the gay
civil rights movement.
From Rob Sanders,
author of the acclaimed Pride: The Story of Harvey Milk and the
Rainbow Flag, comes this powerful and timeless true story that
will allow young readers to discover the rich and dynamic history of
the Stonewall Inn and its role in the LGBTQ+ civil rights movement--a
movement that continues to this very day. In the early-morning hours
of June 28, 1969, the Stonewall Inn was raided by police in New York
City. Though the inn had been raided before, that night would be
different. It would be the night when empowered members of the LGBTQ+
community--in and around the Stonewall Inn--began to protest and
demand their equal rights as citizens of the United States. Movingly
narrated by the Stonewall Inn itself, and featuring stirring and
dynamic illustrations, Stonewall: A Building. An Uprising. A
Revolution is an essential and empowering civil rights story that
every child deserves to hear.
