Stonewall Uprising, Explained<\/h1>\n

Stonewall: A Building, An Uprising, A Revolution by Rob Sanders is a wonderfully child-appropriate way to tell the story of the Stonewall Uprising.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Stonewall Uprising of 1969 was a pivotal moment in LGBTQ+ history, when the crowd inside the Stonewall Inn on the West side of New York City was raided by the police (raids of anything potentially not heterosexual were common of the time).\u00a0<\/p>\n

The author of this book (who also wrote a children’s biography about Pride Flag creator Harvey Milk)<\/a> told the story in the most beautifully creative way. The entire book was from the perspective of the building itself – or rather, the original two buildings that were later joined together to make the Stonewall Inn. The first few pages review the history of the buildings, in all its many purposes and occupants and cultures.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Telling the story from the perspective of the buildings somehow makes the story less scary for children. It is more focused on the “view from above” the story, as members of the LGBTQ+ community decided it was time to stand up against violence together.\u00a0<\/p>\n
