Celebrating the Start of Pride Month With Stonewall Inn Owner Stacy Lentz
June 1 marks the start of Pride Month and Cheddar News is kicking off the celebration with the iconic Stonewall Inn. In June 1969 a police raid at the gay bar in New York City sparked a six-day uprising that marked a turning point for the LGBTQ+ community's fight for equality. Stacy Lentz, Stonewall Inn co-owner, joined Closing Bell to talk about the bar's history and the ongoing equality movement.
A new pop-up is recreating Elvis Presley's famous living room from Graceland and will be in New York on Thursday and Friday. Kevin Kern, vice president of public relations with Memphis Tourism, joined Cheddar News to explain what pieces are in the recreated room, including a drink inspired by the King of Rock 'n Roll.
