On Saturday, June 28, 1969, members of the New York police department raided the Stonewall Inn, a known gay bar in Greenwich Village, touching off a series of spontaneous and violent demonstrations throughout the city.

These demonstrations are widely considered the most important event leading to the gay liberation movement.

NBC O&O WNBC New York will commemorate the historic occasion with a special broadcast, Pride: Celebrating 50 Years, Saturday night at 7, both on air and online.

Hosted by acclaimed television and Broadway actor Michael Urie, Pride: Celebrating 50 Years will showcase the growth of the local and global Pride movement.

Featuring celebrities including Billy Porter, Asia Kate Dillon, Carson Kressley, Isis King, Molly Bernard, Adam Rippon, Lea DeLaria and Wilson Cruz, the program will profile the movement’s trailblazers, including Edie Winsor, Harvey Milk, Gerturde Stein, Rupaul, Bayard Rustin, the Shepard Family and more.
