Introduction
Sheridan Square sits in Manhattan's Greenwich Village at the junction of Christopher and Sheridan Streets, a small triangular plaza central to the American LGBTQ+ rights movement. The 1969 Stonewall riots took place at the Stonewall Inn beside the square and are widely seen as the start of the modern gay rights movement in the United States. George Segall's Gay Liberation bronze sculpture stands in the square honoring those pioneers. Today the square is framed by the Stonewall Inn, the Neon Cafe and other historic venues, making it the heart of Village nightlife and a pilgrimage site for equality history, especially lively during June Pride month.
