Dewey's Sit-in

Philadelphia County · dedicated 2018 · SE corner of 17th & Latimer Sts., Philadelphia

Activists led one of the nation's first LGBT sit-ins here in 1965 after homosexuals were denied service at Dewey's restaurant. Inspired by African American lunch counter sit-ins, this event prompted Dewey's to stop its discriminatory policy, an early victory for LGBT rights.
