"One night, police raided the bar and started arresting folks," Obama narrates, talking about the night of June 28, 1969. "Raids like this were nothing new, but this time the patrons had had enough, so they stood up and spoke out. The riots became protests. The protests became a movement. The movement ultimately became an integral part of America."
