LISTEN: The story behind Madeline Davis & her timeless anthem “Stonewall Nation”
Few songs serve as a time capsule for a specific moment in time, reminding audiences of important events and historical context that aid in remembering how far a community has come in the fight for equal rights. Though the queer community still has a long way to go, incredible progress has been made since the Stonewall Riots of 1969, and Madeline Davis’s song “Stonewall Nation” serves as a rallying cry for that progress.Davis, a singer, songwriter, activist, and documentarian, played a significant role in the gay liberation movement for over 50 years.
