The Sound of Pride: Stonewall at 50

Why We Remember Stonewall

<p>Fifty years after the Stonewall Uprising, we look at what happened that night, through the voices of people who were there. WNYC's Jennifer Vanasco says that Stonewall — a filthy dive bar — was a most unlikely setting for the start of a crusade.</p>

It’s been 50 years since the uprising at the Stonewall Inn—an event that is widely considered to be the catalyst for the LGBTQ civil rights movement. To commemorate this moment, we’re bringing you an all new podcast series that celebrates queer stories and voices.

Join Kathy Tu and Tobin Low, hosts of the Nancy podcast, for a special series of episodes that explore how this moment in history—and the setback and achievements that followed—have shaped the LGBTQ experience today. For more on our coverage of Stonewall at 50, visit wnyc.org/stonewall50. 

The Sound of Pride is produced by WNYC Studios, home to great podcasts like Radiolab, Death, Sex &amp; Money, Nancy and Here’s the Thing with Alec Baldwin.
