Most importantly the anthology spotlights both iconic activists who were pivotal in the movement, such as Sylvia Rivera, co-founder of Street Transvestites Action Revolutionaries (STAR), as well as forgotten figures like Ernestine Eckstein, one of the few out, African American, lesbian activists in the 1960s. The anthology focuses on the events of 1969, the five years before, and the five years after. Jason Baumann, the NYPL coordinator of humanities and LGBTQ collections, has edited and introduced the volume to coincide with the NYPL exhibition he has curated on the Stonewall uprising and gay liberation movement of 1969.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003eAudiobook Table of Contents:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eForeword by Edmund White, read by Eric Marcus\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cli\u003eIntroduction by Jason Bauman, read by Jason Bauman\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eAudre Lorde, from \u003ci\u003eZami:\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eA New Spelling of My Name\u003c\/i\u003e read by Tenaja Jordan\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eJohn Rechy, from \u003ci\u003eCity of Night \u003c\/i\u003eread by Danny Deferrari\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eJoan Nestle, from \u003ci\u003eA Restricted \u003c\/i\u003eCountry read by Rebecca Lowman\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eDel Martin and Phyllis Lyon, from \u003ci\u003eLesbians United\u003c\/i\u003e read by Barbara Rosenblatt\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eFranklin Kameny, from \u003ci\u003eGay Is Good\u003c\/i\u003e read by Michael Crouch\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eVirginia Prince, \u003ci\u003eThe How and Why of Virginia\u003c\/i\u003e read by Minerva Summer\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eSamuel R.
