Author David Carter Visits TodayAuthor David Carter, of Stonewall: The Riots that Sparked the Gay Revolution To Speak at Wagner David Carter, author of Stonewall: The Riots that Sparked the Gay Revolution, will be A.C.E.’s featured speaker today, Tuesday, April 25, 2006 at 1:00PM in Spiro 5. In his account of the 1969 Stonewall Riots, Carter uncovers some surprising new facts about the raid on the gay bar in New York’s Greenwich Village and the resulting riots. Prior to the raid on the Stonewall Inn, Interpol uncovered the theft of negotiated bonds which were turning up on the streets of Europe. The bonds were being stolen by gay Wall St. employees who were victims of a blackmail operation run by Stonewall Inn manager Ed Murphy. Murphy, in spite of having been previously arrested for running an extensive national blackmail ring based on homosexual prostitution, had never been to jail because he had incriminating photographs of one of the prostitution ring's most prominent customers, J. Edgar Hoover. Once the NYPD learned that the theft of bonds was tied to blackmail at the Stonewall Inn, the order went out to shut down the club. Wagner is still the MAAC champion - S.I. Advance
