"Pitman's fresh storytelling brings emotion and depth to the history of a movement and the establishment that served as an epicenter for social change."--Publishers Weekly

"The narrative is presented through a series of "objects": photographs of places, people, or items, such as a police officer's nightstick, a parking meter, a matchbook, or a protest leaflet. Though each object only reveals a small part of the story, together they reveal a powerful picture and offer rich historical context . . . [An] inviting, engaging, and well-researched approach to history."--Booklist

"In brief chapters themed around objects and places associated with the run-up, aftermath, and three days of rioting, readers get a credible reconstruction of events and the context with which to frame it."--The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"A substantive look at a key moment in the history of the LGBTQIAP-equality movement."--Kirkus Reviews
