Overview
In recognition of the 50th Anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, the act that began the modern LGBTQ+ movement, TeachRock has released a collection of lessons that supplement the CNN Soundtracks “Out Loud and Proud” episode. Each lesson draws upon the voices and creative work of the LGBTQ+ community to illustrate important moments in LGBTQ+ history–from the Stonewall Riots to the Gay Liberation Movement to the AIDS Epidemic to Marriage Equality.
