<DIV><DIV><b>A powerful firsthand account of the Stonewall riots and the birth of the modern gay rights movement<BR></b><I><BR>&ldquo;We, the people, declare today that the most evident of truths&mdash;that all of us are created equal&mdash;is the star that guides us still, just as it guided our forebears through Seneca Falls, and Selma, and Stonewall.&rdquo; &mdash;President Obama, 2013 Inaugural Address</I></div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>In the summer of 1969, the Stonewall Inn, one of the few places where gay men could gather, was a mafia-run unlicensed bar in New York City&rsquo;s Greenwich Village. An unforeseen raid on the night of June 28 by federal agents ignited the now-famous five days of Stonewall riots that kindled the nation&rsquo;s gay rights movement. Expertly weaving personal, eyewitness accounts of the riots, Martin Duberman&rsquo;s <i>Stonewall</i> is an engrossing look at how six individuals, from distinctly different backgrounds, helped bring political and social awakening to the gay liberation movement. </div></div>
