"This beautiful, well-written book provides a sense of historical continuity, remembrance, and stability. Highly recommended for all collections … This overview of the history of LGBTQ activism starts with the well-known Stonewall riots, then moves back in time to explain more than 20 turning points in Western culture from the 19th century to the present … Accompanied by Knight's bold and inspiring artwork, the text covers well-known topics and those that are sometimes overlooked … Lawson offers a perfect balance between celebrating the community's achievements and inspiring young leaders to keep fighting for justice.

About this book
A beautifully illustrated children's book about the fight for queer rights
Around one o'clock in the morning on June 28, 1969, police raided the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in New York, sparking days of intense rioting. What happened at Stonewall sent shockwaves around the world, and became a defining moment for the LGBTQ+ community.
From the impassioned speeches of bold activists Karl Ulrichs and Audre Lorde to the birth of Pride and queer pop culture, Rainbow Revolutions - a middle grade children's book - charts the dramatic rise of the LGBTQ+ rights movement, and celebrates the courageous individuals who stood up and demanded recognition. With bold and beautiful illustrations by pop artist Eve Lloyd Knight.
