Summary
This episode originally aired July 3, 2022.
Marsha P. Johnson was a prominent figure in the LGBTQ+ rights movement and a key member of the Stonewall Inn uprising in 1969. She was a self-identified drag queen and activist who fought for the rights and visibility of transgender people. Born in 1945, Johnson grew up in New Jersey and later moved to New York City, where she became involved in the LGBTQ+ community and began advocating for the rights of LGBTQ+ individuals. In addition to her activism, Johnson was also an artist and performer, known for her flamboyant style and bold personality. She co-founded the Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (STAR) with fellow activist Sylvia Rivera, which provided support and resources for LGBTQ+ youth and sex workers. Johnson died in 1992, but her legacy and activism continue to inspire and influence the LGBTQ+ community to this day.
