What is all the best content about the Stonewall Riot and the people involved? I'm looking for documentaries, articles, books, interviews, photos, videos, memes, etc. Anything about Stonewall, the participants, and its impact (marches, new organizations, societal changes, etc.). Thanks for any suggestions!
I would keep an eye out for Happy Birthday, Marsha!, which is just being released.
"Happy Birthday, Marsha! is a film about iconic transgender artist and activist, Marsha "Pay it No Mind" Johnson and her life in the hours before she ignited the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City. Written and directed by Reina Gossett and Sasha Wortzel."
Unlike a lot of other media about Stonewall, it is actually made by trans women of colour.

ONE National Lesbian and Gay Archives has a wealth of material. I see you're on the other side of the continent from their holdings near USC, but the archivists and librarians there will help you remotely if you send a specific question. Yours is a broad question.
