TOUR: Radical 78er Walking Tour

In the evening, on June 24, 1978 the police brutally assaulted the 'gay and lesbian' (as it was called then) parade at Kings Cross, at the El Alamein Fountain.What led to vicious police brutality against the LGBTIQA+ movement on June 24, 1978? How did the movement respond? What lessons can we draw for todays campaigns for trans-rights and against war and for international solidarity?
