100 years ago, New York City arrested Eve Adams for the "crime" of being gay.
A Polish-Jewish immigrant, LGBTQ pioneer, and owner of Eve's Hangout in Greenwich Village, she was entrapped by police, convicted, deported, and ultimately murdered at Auschwitz.
I've asked the City to formally acknowledge that Eve Adams was failed by New York and that her conviction was an injustice rooted in discrimination.
We can't change history, but we can tell the truth about it.
