On Stonewall Day, let's talk about Stormé DeLarverie. "DeLarverie, who was born in New Orleans in 1920 to a black mother and a white father. She reportedly did not have a birth certificate since the marriage of her parents was illegal in Louisiana, and she moved north to Chicago due the constant bullying for being biracial. She spent the ’50s and ’60s as the only “male impersonator” in the Jewel Box Revue, the period’s only racially integrated drag troupe". Diane Arbus took a photo of "Miss Stormé de Larverie, the Lady Who Appears to be a Gentleman, N.Y.C.", in 1961. On the first night of the Stonewall Riots in New York City, DeLarverie was outside the bar and was the first person rounded up during a raid by the New York Police Department. DeLarverie stated, "It was a rebellion, it was an uprising, it was a civil rights disobedience -- it wasn't no damn riot". The "Stonewall Lesbian" was known for years as the first person to throw the first punch, and later DeLaverie said of that night, "The cops were parading patrons out of the front door of The Stonewall at about two o' clock in the morning. I saw this one boy being taken out by three cops, only one in uniform. Three to one! I told my pals, 'I know him! That's Willson, my friend Sonia Jane's friend.' Willson briefly broke loose but they grabbed the back of his jacket and pulled him right down on the cement street. One of them did a drop kick on him. Another cop senselessly hit him from the back. Right after that, a cop said to me: 'Move faggot', thinking that I was a Gay guy. I said, 'I will not! And, don't you dare touch me." With that, the cop shoved me and I instinctively punched him right in his face. He bled! He was then dropping to the ground -- not me!"
Stonewall and it's surrounding area is on the National Register of Historic Places #99000562 and National Historic Landmark and also a National Monument.
To delay or block (a request, process, or person) by refusing to answer questions or by giving evasive replies, especially in politics. Example: The stonewalling by American politicians concerning reform of firearm laws, in spite of overwhelming public support for such action.

Located in the Manassas National Battlefield Park, Manassas, Virginia.
First Manassas (or Bull Run) was fought on July 21, 1861, and it served to inform the country the war wouldn't be over within a few weeks. Each side had about 18,000 troops on the lines but for both sides, those troops were poorly trained and poorly led. The battle was a Confederate victory and the Union Army retreat turned into a rout. It was at the First Battle of Bull Run that General Thomas Jackson earned his famous nickname "Stonewall."
The Second Battle of Bull Run (or Second Battle of Manassas) was fought between August 28 and August 30, 1862. The troop numbers on both sides was larger (62,000 Union v. 50,000 Confederate), as was the casualty count (10,000 Union, 8,300 Confederate). The fighting was so fierce that some Confederate troops ran out of ammunition and resorted to throwing rocks at the Union troops across the battle line. The Confederates won a decisive victory but failed to follow up on the opportunity to destroy the Union Army of Virginia. In the end, the Union Army retreated in an orderly fashion and were shortly merged into the Army of the Potomac.
The Stonewall Jackson House, located at 8 East Washington Street in the Historic District of Lexington, Virginia, was the residence of Confederate general Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson from 1858 to 1861.
The house is a two-story, four bay, brick dwelling with a large, stone rear addition. It has a side-gable roof and interior end chimneys.
The house was constructed in 1800, by Cornelius Dorman. r. Archibald Graham purchased the house and significantly expanded it in 1845 by adding a stone addition on the rear and remodeling the front and interior to accommodate his medical practice. Dr. Graham sold the house to then-Major Thomas Jackson, a professor at the nearby Virginia Military Institute, on November 4, 1858, for $3000. It is the only house Jackson ever owned. He lived in the brick and stone house with his second wife, Mary Anna Morrison Jackson, until the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1861.
It housed Stonewall Jackson Memorial Hospital from 1907 until 1954; when it was converted to a museum. In 1979 the house was carefully restored to its appearance at the time of the Jacksons' occupancy. The house and garden are owned and operated as a museum by the Virginia Military Institute from April through December. Guided tours are given daily, every half hour, from 9:00 a.m. until 4:30 P.M.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.

Some walls are stone. Get over it.
A wall I walked past on my way to work one morning.

Sunset, Stonewall Jackson Lake, Stonewall Resort, Near Roanoke, West Virginia; the Stonewall Resort is a real gem (Four Diamond Rated).
it’s a complex morning and the house that i return to.
we collide.
me convex with all my feelings in a cumulative clutter,
and the house revolting; bulging seemingly inwards,
making everything cavernous, in spite of its monstrous size.
we are both stonewalls.
my clothes wet from rain opposes too, as i am trying to peel them off me.
i will not make it known i am back
until my silk rose brosch has stopped slouching.

The Gay Liberation Monument is a monument featuring the sculpture Gay Liberation by American artist George Segal; located in Christopher Park along Christopher Street in Manhattan; New York. Located at the northern end of the park; the art installation commemorates the Stonewall riots and features four figures (two standing men and two seated women) positioned in "natural; easy" poses. The bronze statues are covered in white lacquer; cast in 1980 from plaster moulds of human models. Two "World's Fair-style" benches and a plaque are also part of the monument.The monument was dedicated on June 23; 1992.The sculpture was originally commissioned in 1979 (10th anniversary of the Stonewall incident) by the Cleveland-based Mildred Andrews Fund. The commission specified that the work must be installed on public land and that it "had to be loving and caring; and show the affection that is the hallmark of gay people. . . . And it had to have equal representation of men and women." It was completed in 1980 and was the first piece of public art dedicated to LGBT rights. It was intended for installation in New York but proved too controversial for the city. It was instead installed in Orton Park in Madison; Wisconsin from 1986 to 1991. The Madison installation was funded by the New Harvest Foundation. It was finally moved to New York in 1992.A second casting of the work was intended for Los Angeles but was also refused by the city. In 1984 it was installed on Stanford University's Main Quad as a "long term loan". The sculpture was vandalized several times during the first ten years; but eventually became an accepted part of Stanford's public art.In August 2015; anonymous activists painted two of the figures' faces brown to protest the way the statues "white- and cis-wash a movement led by black and brown queer and trans people".
