The New York City police department has apologized for the 1969 raid on the Stonewall Inn -- an incident that helped kick off the LGBTQ rights movement.

The raid at the Stonewall, a gay bar in the West Village, sparked protests that helped launch a civil rights movement.This story is developing. Please check back for more updates.
