Headline : New York celebrates 50 years of Stonewall
Caption : Passers-by stand in front of the "Stonewall Inn" in the scene district of Greenwich Village. On a warm night on June 28, exactly 50 years ago, about 200 people, including many homosexuals, celebrate in the popular bar "Stonewall Inn" in Christopher Street in Greenwich Village when eight policemen suddenly arrive. It comes to a melee. The riots are the spark that sets an international movement in motion - and the "Stonewall Inn" becomes the nucleus of the protest movement.
