“Love & Resistance”, a new exhibition at New York Public Library, marks 50 years since a routine police raid ignited the modern gay-rights movement
ON JUNE 28th 1969 a routine raid on the Stonewall Inn did not go to plan. While the police waited outside the gay bar for their wagons, a crowd began to form. Officers became flustered and rough, and when one struck a female patron with a baton the throng became agitated. Pennies, bottles and stones began to fly; chants filled the streets of Greenwich Village.
Much of the collection on display at the library captures this defiance. Ms Davies’s pictures, spanning the 1960s and ‘70s, are full of emotion and energy, taken at campaigns and scenes of protest. In one image two lesbians squat on the ground, kissing, next to a yellow balloon emblazoned with the word “Gay”; a line of men looks on, bemused.
