The vast majority of medical authorities decreed homosexuality a mental disorder and often prescribed brutal treatment, including lobotomy. Homosexual acts were illegal in every state except Illinois and gays frequently found themselves being hauled off to jail, their names splashed in the next day’s newspaper. Police entrapment was rampant, and being arrested meant that licenses to teach, practice law, medicine, or cosmetology might be denied or revoked. Even in Greenwich Village, where thousands of people moved to escape the constant oppression of their hometowns, patrons of gay bars were accustomed to frequent police harassment. But on June 28, 1969, when the N.Y.P.D. raided the Stonewall, the gay community experienced what one Village Voice reporter who was on the scene called its "Rosa Parks moment.” For the first time, patrons refused to be led into paddy wagons, setting off a violent uprising that launched the gay rights movement. Exactly one year later, America saw its first Gay Pride Parade as thousands marched up Sixth Avenue. See more details • •	11	12

Police officers, legal experts, local activists all weigh in in this timely documentary, delving into ongoing charges of inequality, unfair practices, and politicized manipulations of America's judicial system. Massey, an NAACP Image Award Winner, also addresses so-called "Black on Black" violent crime. As the Black Lives Matter movement - and citizens nationwide - question the accountability of our justice system in cases of police violence, WHEN JUSTICE ISN'T JUSE is an essential and balanced addition to the ongoing discussion about violence, reform and renewal. "Thank you for continuing to beat the drum!" - Blair Underwood "A timely exploration of the state of American justice for African Americans and other people of color. A powerful, informative and timely discussion starter. Recommended." - Video Librarian Run time: 43 min NR - adult audience See more details •	26
