Stonewall Inn was the site of the famous Stonewall riots of 1969, which have come to symbolize the beginning of the militant gay liberation movement in the United States. It is located at 53 Christopher Street, between West 4th St. and Waverly Place, in Greenwich Village, New York City. Stonewall is regarded as the single most important event that led to the modern movement for gay and lesbian civil rights.[1]
