Congressman Jerry Nadler (D-NY), who helped lead the effort to establish the Stonewall Inn as a national monument, walks near Christopher Park across the street from the Stonewall Inn on June 24, 2016 in New York City. President Barack Obama designated Stonewall Inn and approximately 7.7 acres surrounding it, including Christopher Park, as the first national monument dedicated 'to tell the story of the struggle for LGBT rights.' The tavern is considered the birthplace of the modern gay rights movement, where patrons fought back against police persecution in 1969.
