Taken from Wikipedia, "Stonewall National Monument is a 7.7-acre (3.1 ha) U.S. National Monument located in the West Village neighborhood of Greenwich Village in Lower Manhattan, New York City.[2] The designated area includes Christopher Park and the block of Christopher Street bordering the park, which is directly across the street from the Stonewall Inn—the site of the Stonewall riots of June 28, 1969, widely regarded as the start of the modern LGBT rights movement in the United States.
Stonewall National Monument is the first U.S. National Monument dedicated to LGBT rights and history. It received its National Monument designation on June 24, 2016."
