About the Project
“It isn’t nice to block the doorway. It isn’t nice to go to jail. There are nicer ways to do it. But the nice ways always fail.”
-Malvina Reynolds
“It was a rebellion, it was an uprising…wasn’t no damn riot.”
-Stormé Delarverie
It’s summer of 1969 on Christopher Street in NYC and the fascist policies enforced by the police result in frequent raids of queer spaces. Until one night the Christopher Street community decided to fight back. Various citizens, including Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P. Johnson offer their different perspectives on the nights events which include crooked cops, mafioso catholic priests and the eventual Pride it all led to.
