Stonewall | Eric Marcus Remembers the Voices of Stonewall | 5

<p>When the events of Stonewall happened in 1969, Eric Marcus was just a boy away at a New Jersey summer camp. Nearly 20 years later, he would document the voices of revolutionary LGBTQ activists like Marsha P. Johnson, Sylvia Rivera and Frank Kameny for his book, “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Making-Gay-History-Century-Lesbian/dp/0060933917" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Making Gay History: The Half-Century Fight for Lesbian and Gay Equal Rights</a>.”&nbsp;</p><p>While his work started out as a printed oral history, Marcus knew that taping those interviews would “one day have value beyond my book.” And he was right. Many of those interviews can be heard on the&nbsp;<a href="https://makinggayhistory.com/about/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>Making Gay History</em></a>&nbsp;podcast, which he founded and hosts.&nbsp;</p><p>Today, Marcus talks about his conversations with people who shaped the early LGBTQ movement. He’ll also share what people who were patrons of the Stonewall Inn told him about their time there.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Listen ad-free on Wondery+ </strong><a href="https://wondery.com/plus-members/?podcast=american-history-tellers-2" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>here</strong></a></p><p><br></p><p>Support us by supporting our sponsors!</p><p>See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.</p>
