This presentation explores California developments in the months before, during, and after New York City’s Stonewall Riots of 1969, when LGBT people fought back against police harassment, challenged gender and sexual oppression, and mobilized a transformative social movement. Stein is the Jamie and Phyllis Pasker Professor of History at San Francisco State University and author of The Stonewall Riots: A Documentary History (NYU Press, 2019).
