Right at 400 North Plankinton Avenue is where the popular gay bar once stood. "The Black Nite as a building may have been erased but the events that transpired there certainly left their mark," said Brice Smith, the executive director of LGBT milWALKee. On Aug. 5, 1961, a date that's known as the 'Black Nite Brawl,' is when history began to change for the LGBTQ+ community. "A group of Navy trainees went to the Black Nite on a dare. They knew it was a gay bar. The sailors started a fight because they were denied entrance into the tavern," explained Diane Buck.
