00:51The Stonewall Bar was right in the center of where we all were.
00:58We were in the back of the room. The police started coming in raiding the bar.
01:04The first police officer that came in with our group said,
01:09The place is under arrest. When you exit, have some identification.
01:15This time they said, We're not going. That's it. We're not going.
01:22Something snapped. It's like, What? This is not right.
01:27And then more police came.
01:29All of a sudden, pandemonium broke loose.
01:35I mean, this was the Rosa Parks moment.

01:51I was proud. I was a man.
01:54In the civil rights moment, we ran from the police.
01:59That night, the police ran from us.
02:02And it was fantastic.
02:05There was no going back.
02:07We had discovered a power that we weren't even aware that we had.
02:11We had discovered a power that we're proof of the Lord.
02:13We will see it.
02:14We will see it.
