""By institutionalizing memory, resisting the onset of oblivion, recalling the memory of tragedy that for long years remained hidden or unrecognized and by assigning its proper place in the human conscience, we respond to our duty to remember." —UNESCO Director-General Koïchiro Matsuura1"

A great article. I've taken it upon myself educate people about the real events of Stonewall. I guess you can say that through no choice of my own I have become a historian of TGLBQ history. The whitewashing of people of color is disturbing and still has ramifications on what's is happening today.
