Graffiti On Boarded-Up Stonewall Inn Window

Close-up of handwritten chalk text on a boarded-up window of the Stonewall Inn (53 Christopher Street) after riots over the weekend of June 27, 1969. The text reads 'Gay Prohibition Corupts (sic) Cops and Feeds Mafia' and refers to payoffs made to police officers by the owners of gang-operated, then-illegal gay bars. The bar and surrounding area were the site of a series of demonstrations and riots over the weekend that led to the formation of the modern gay rights movement in the United States. (Photo by Fred W.
