This article is intended to be a brief introduction to the Compton Cafeteria Uprising and not an exhaustive report. This event is well-documented on the web and in other media.
Although the Stonewall uprising is considered by many to mark the beginning of the modern LGBT movement, several similar less publicized incidents occurred in prior years, one of which was the Compton Cafeteria Uprising in August of 1966, almost three years prior to Stonewall, in San Francisco, California, US.
