Place des Émeutes-de-Stonewall

The Place des Emeutes de Stonewall serves as a permanent, public reminder of the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in New York City. The city of Paris officially dedicated this square in June 2019 to mark the fiftieth anniversary of those events. By embedding this name into the streetscape of the Marais, a district long known as the center of Parisian LGBTQ life, the city recognizes the global impact of that American rebellion. The square stands at a bustling intersection, marking a commitment to honor history that often exists outside of official, traditional archives.
