In commemoration of the 45th anniversary of the Stonewall riots, a special walking exhibition is being unveiled on Christopher Street, where the modern-day LGBT revolution first began. "Stonewall 45: Windows Into LGBT History," on display through June 29, is a series of poster panels in 26 storefronts lining Christopher Street. The posters recount the story of Stonewall and the political, legal, and cultural barriers encountered by LGBT people in these times. The storefront posters incorporate historic visuals including photographs, newspaper clippings, flyers and newsletters.
"Stonewall 45: Windows Into LGBT History" is cosponsored by the Arcus Foundation and the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation. For more information visit the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation or The Arcus Foundation.
