"So we have to stick up, know our history and how important it is to fight back. The younger generation -- the younger generation has to know where they came from, that there was a point where they couldn't say who they loved. He couldn't say who they are. Now they can. We got to keep that going."

STORYLINE:
Officials gathered outside a historic bar in the gay rights movement on Friday to commemorate the construction of a new visior center aimed at educating the public about LGBTQ history.
A space next to The Stonewall Inn will become the first visitor center focusing on gay rights that is part of the National Park Service.
The bar became a symbol of the gay rights movement following the June 28, 1969 Stonewall uprising, in which days of demonstrations were sparked by a police raid on the gay bar.
"What this means is the visitor center is the last piece of the puzzle of the monument. Now we're a whole, and now we can educate and we can speak out." said Kurt Kelly, who now owns the Stonewall Inn.
Stonewall was officially made a national landmark in 2016, and the park across the street from the bar was named the Stonewall National Monument.
