and the moment spawned by stonewall -- and the movement spawned by stonewall continues to surge around the nation and the world. there was little international movement for lgbt civil rights before stonewall. but the liberation movement inspired by the stonewall uprising has known no boundaries and continues to underscore in europe, asia and africa. and this is the most celebrated and symbolic event both nationally and internationally in the history of the lgbt movement for civil rights and equality from the early beginning in germany in the 19th century down to the present day. give the preemmence of stonewall and the lgbt civil rights movement. event has been widely celebrated within the movement. but until very recently the history of this movement has generally been ignored or given very limited recognition outside of the movement. this is begun to change. especially since the ruling establishing the right to marriage for same-sex couples which seems to say to many people that this is a legitimate moral movement. the two major speeches in which president barack obama linked the lgb

how do you teach stonewall? how should teachers educate this generation in terms of exactly what happened and it's significance 50 years? later >> i think many of us have been trying to improve lgbt history education in colleges, universities and high schools. for some years, it's really important i think for it to be integrated into our general narratives of american history, is one thing for there to be courses on lgbt history in college and universities, it's another thing entirely when lgbt history and the history of the stonewall riots gets incorporated into the general american history courses. so a number of us are working very hard on that right now. i think many of us try to teach the stonewall followed 20 years of political organizing by lgbt people, so there was a pre-stonewall movement, many of us try to teach the much broader history of sexual and gender difference and variety in american history. so stretching back centuries. and then of course it's important to follow the story after the stonewall

there had been other lgbt protests and demonstrations before stonewall, but stonewall became centralo the way that we narrate lgbt history really because of the annual commemorations every summer that have now gone on for 49 years. >> i want to put one point in perspective. walter jenkins, who at the time was one of the closest aides to president lyndon johnson, worked with him to 25 years when he was in the senate, vice president and then president. he was married, the father of six children. this is a forecast of walter jenkins, forced out of the white house after a sexual liaison with another man. he was charged with a crime on morals charges, and i mention that in 1964, to where we are today, with pete buttigieg, the mayor of south bend, indiana, openly gay, and among the top tier candidates running for the nomination. in that arc of history, what does it tell you? >> candidates began running for office in the united states before stonewall. they weren't generally successful, but there began to be successes in the early 1970s. the first in an arbor, michigan, city council members

it was the same with stonewall. the event derived its power from the emotional shock it created in those who heard about it. all of the above goes to explain the symbolism of stonewall, but what does that power into war. what does that power endure. all nations and important movements have moments that have a power that exceeds what can be expressed by mere rational analysis of their historic affect. this is because these moments are symbolic. because they express the deepest truths experienced by the human heart. they become implemented of the best in us. they symbolize our hopes and dreams, our feelings and yearnings, our potential. the vision of a world as on it should be or could be or as it needs to be or as it needs to be. thus when we learn about four american history, certain stories, events, people, and moments are emphasized. example, all school children learned the story of how francis scott key watched through the night to see if or mchenry would fall under the british bombardment. when he saw the flag s

are raiding the stonewall, get to sheridan square! you know us. yoo-hoo, progressive shoppers. we laughed with you. sprinkles are for winners. we surprised you. on occasion, we've probably even annoyed you. we've done this all with one thing in mind. to help protect the things you love. and if we can't offer you the best price we'll help you find a better one. it's not always the lowest! even if it's not with us. that's how we've done it for the past 80 years. not just today, or this month, but always. let's be honest. quitting smoking is hard. like, quitting every monday hard. quitting feels so big. so try making it smaller, and you'll be surprised at how easily starting small can lead to something big. start stopping with nicorette. with spray mopping to lock away debris and absorb wet messes, all in one disposable pad. just vacuum, spray mop, and toss. the shark vacmop, a complete clean all in one pad. so here's to the strong, who trust in our performance and comfortable, long-lasting protection. because your strength is supported

the facts of the stonewall uprising are well established as his general information about the stonewall club and how it operated. however, to understand the meaning of the event requires information that goes beyond the sets of facts, including information that has not become integrated into media accounts, documentaries and museum exhibitions. because one needs to be aware of a much greater context of the history, beyond the events of the uprising to interpret the uprising's meaning and its historical implications accurately, i will not spend much time today on the uprising itself, but on this larger context. homosexual acts have been illegal since the nation's founding, but an increase in the intolerance of homosexuality seems to have taken root in this country around the time of the great depression. after world war ii, with the advent of the cold war and the red scare, it's simplified by anti communism and the demand for total conformity that characterize the 19 fifties. laws aimed at homosexuals became so harsh that at times they were draconian. the defense department hardened its

well, they busted the stonewall and the stonewall is known for serving under age people. it had a sound system in the back room and there was dancing and it was kind of a wild place. the people they busted at the stonewall weren't like that. they didn't have jobs. they didn't have anything to lose. a lot of them were 17, 18 years old. when they came out of the bar they were posing and waving to their friends and calling out and saying, you know, come down and can you get my bail? and acting like it was, you know, there was nothing to it. they'd been busted before. didn't bother them. and the cops didn't like it. >> they didn't have that fear so many had before. >> no. they didn't behave like frightened gay people and the cops didn't like it and the cops didn't like them standing and posing and waving and so the cops started pushing them with their night sticks and shoving them roughly in the cars and the crowd started reacting to it and yelling at the cops and throwing pennies at first and calling them pigs. it sort of went south from there. i mean, right after i got ther

at the stonewall they could dance with each other. the inn they were there, it was sort of a -- not the nicest place but at least it was a place gay people could call their own. there is a police crackdown going on and when police came in and started raiding the bar and tossing people out, they were a little rough with a lesbian and threw her out on to the street and the crowd went wild. this is kind of a pent up feeling by the people there at the stonewall. police had been harassing gay people for a long time and arresting them for showing affection in public. at this point we have the youth movement, counter culture, sexual revolution is happening. people just aren't going to take it anymore. they are done with not being who they are, done with not being accepted for being gay. they are just fed up. this starts six nights of on and off uprising, rioting, glass throwing, bricks throwing. interactions with police. out of this moment springs forth what we call the modern lgbtq movement. you see how dismissive the main stream publicatio

there are definitely international contexts especially after stonewall. of course it just didn't just stop after stonewall happened and after the organization and managing society of washington became essentially a one-man organization . he continued working as part of the aclu which was very much in conversation with especially british reformers, especially after their own successes with overturning sodomy laws before stonewall. so there is that conversation and there is some really good studies. one i would recommend is by david minto who i believe is at durham university in the uk who talks about the transnational mobile movement and how some of these conversations were taking place in the carpenter hall archives in london are a great resource also to see how us activists were, including frank who were in conversation with the law reformers in the uk. and then of course even before frank's time, german activists had had a number of publications. we're talking and from the first home a file or gay publications that were ever disseminated in the us were

next we'll walk into the gallery and we'll talk about the stonewall inn in the summer of 1969. we'll go to a hot summer night in 1969 to greenwich village in new york city, the stonewall inn. it wasn't a particularly nice bar, the drinks were watered down and run by the mafia and gay people could come, dance together and socialize. back then it was illegal for gay people to socialize together and show affection. the stonewall preyed on the gay wall street workers who socialized there and there was a blackmailing ring. not the nicest place, but at least it was a place that gay people could call their own. there was a crackdown on such illegal establishments and when police came in and started raiding the bar and tossing people out of it they were a little bit rough with a lesbian and they threw her out on to the streets and the crowd went wild. this was kind of a pent-up feeling by the people there, and they were arrested for showing affection in public and at this point in time in 1969 we have the youth movement and counter culture, sexual revolution is happening and people jus

obviously, it's the 51st anniversary of the stonewall rebellion. how does that moment in l.b.t.q. connect to this moment we're having right no >> yeah. not only is it the 51st anniversary of stonewall, right, it's also the 50th anniversary of the first march, so it's also significant in that way. we never would have had a stonewall if it wasn't for a black trans woman saying "enough" aldue to police bry and police misconduct. and the tragedy is that black trans pele have not benefited from the movement that they started. and that means that-- we cannot replicate that. in a moment when the lives of black people are being centered in a movement that focuses on equality, the ending of alice violence the centering of black people's humanity, black trans women, black trans people, cannot be left out at that moment. we cannot replicate and wait another 50 years for us to be able to try to have some way of creating equality. >> reporter: most recently, ioyou've been calling atteto the brutal beating of iyanna dior. can you please describe who she is and what happened to her? >> what we k
