The Block (Richmond, VA)
The Block is an area in Richmond, Virginia that from the 1940s to the late 1970s hosted an underground gay culture and community, with several bars and venues. It was the focus of ongoing harassment from the ABC Department because homosexual activity, including serving alcohol to gay people, was illegal and would result in arrest.
==Introduction==
Richmond, Virginia in recent years has been known to be a youthful and open-minded city. However, things were not always as free for some of the city’s citizens. From the 1940s till the late 1970s Richmond had an underground culture that thrived beneath vigilant eyes. The gay community had to build its own society in order to catch up on news, socialize, and hook up. The Block was known as a particular area in downtown Richmond where the gay community thrived at night. The establishments in this area had to deal with constant harassment from the ABC Department because serving and participating in any sort of gay activity would result in arrest.
