American History Tellers · FAN FAVORITE: Stonewall | Why Don't You Do Something? | 3 · 16 Sep 2026 podcast

This is something new.

This might just be resistance.

From Audible Originals, I'm Lindsey Graham, and this is American History Tellers.

Our history, your story.

By the mid-60s, the civil rights movement, the anti-war movement, and the politics of what was being called the New Left had energized the country.

Police and protesters were confronting each other in the streets as news cameras rolled.

But the LGBTQ rights movement still struggled to find its footing.

Despite sporadic acts of physical resistance led by transgender activists and people of color, organizations like the Mattachine Society and the Daughters of Bilitis continued to stress a calm, non-confrontational approach.

By the summer of 1969, all that would change.

Calmness and non-confrontation were failing propositions for many.

Amid ongoing discrimination, anger was simmering, and it would take one night at the Stonewall Inn for that anger to reach a boiling point.

This is Episode 3, Why Don't You Do Something?

By 1966, New York's Greenwich Village, with its rich history of counterculture, had become one of the nation's biggest hubs of gay life.

Tea rooms and coffee houses, nightclubs and bars quietly served gay customers.

But gay bars and clubs in particular were not just places to get a drink.

They were rare safe spaces for LGBTQ people in the bustle of the city.

And by the late 60s, these safe spaces had increasingly come under fire from New York City police.

Police raided gay bars at will.

Customers were lined up against the wall and asked to produce ID.

Anyone without ID or anyone wearing less than three items of clothing corresponding to their legal sex would be booked and taken to the closest precinct station.
