On this day in queer history: July 5, 1961
Queer Milwaukeeans fought back at the Black Nite Bar after being attacked by servicemen.
Led by Black lesbian Josie Carter, this early act of resistance predates Stonewall by 8 years.
Remember the Black Nite Brawl.
#QueerHistory #Milwaukee #JosieCarter
“All sexual and gender expressions were welcome “something extremely rare to find in mid-century Milwaukee” and customers were fiercely protective of their turf.
That fierceness made itself known on Saturday, Aug. 5, 1961.”
