Remembering the 40th anniversary of Stonewall

As the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots are observed on June 28, here are a couple of resources commemorating the event.

AARP, the organization for the 50-plus crowd, has established a Web site that people of any age will find interesting: http://www.aarp.org/makeadifference/advocacy/stonewall_40th_anniversary/
