In the early hours of June 28, 1969, a woman named Stormé DeLarverie was unjustly handcuffed, arrested, and imprisoned. While she was only one of many people treated that way by law enforcement that night, Stormé’s unjust arrest and public humiliation became a pivotal moment in the fight for gay rights. The events of that night ignited the Stonewall uprising and changed the course of LGBTQIA+ history.
