What were the Stonewall Riots?

  1. Labor strikes in Lower Manhattan

  2. Student protests at Columbia University

  3. Gay rights demonstrations in Greenwich Village

  4. Anti-war marches in Midtown Manhattan

The correct answer is: Gay rights demonstrations in Greenwich Village

The Stonewall Riots were a series of spontaneous demonstrations by members of the LGBTQ+ community in response to a police raid that took place at the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village, New York City in 1969. These riots are considered a pivotal moment in the LGBTQ+ rights movement in the United States. The other options mentioned - labor strikes in Lower Manhattan, student protests at Columbia University, and anti-war marches in Midtown Manhattan - do not accurately represent the historical event that was the Stonewall Riots.
