Stories of Stonewall

Stonewall Pioneer and SNMVC Founding Partner Mark Segal curated a series of panels for the West Wall of the SNMVC, each one offering a first-hand account of the events that led up to the Stonewall Rebellion. The panels provide visitors a comprehensive telling of the Stonewall legacy, including historical moments that shaped LGBTQIA+ activism across the country. These panels also tell the story of the NPS, their support of the LGBTQIA+ community and their expanding role in the ongoing fight for full equality. The West Wall features the original archway that connected 51 and 53 Christopher Street, the two spaces of the original Stonewall Inn.
