Today marks 57 years since the Stonewall Uprising — June 28, 1969.

We're honored to share research by Shema, State Chapter President of Civil Rights History America, on the Stonewall National Monument and what it represents:

"The Stonewall Rebellion was a catalyst for the change people were demanding among their sexuality and rights… It serves as a symbol of pride, unity, activism and freedom."

Honor the history. Never forget the struggle. Keep following for more civil rights history.

Did you know most states have no accessible archive of their local civil rights history? Logan wanted to change that.

So he founded Civil Rights History America: a student-powered movement to collect and share civil rights stories from every corner of the country. Right now, we're inviting high school sophomores from all 50 states to apply to become State Chapter Presidents and lead this work in their own communities.

This is your chance to uncover history that deserves to be heard. Apply at https://www.civilrightshistoryamerica.ai

On this day in 2020, Mayor Muriel Bowser authorized the creation of Black Lives Matter Plaza in Washington, DC. The plaza is a pedestrian section of 16th Street NW that was renamed after the Black Lives Matter movement. It is a powerful symbol of the fight for racial justice, and it is a reminder of the work that’s needed to achieve a more equitable society.
