Episode 16: Marsha P. Johnson & Sylvia Rivera

Have You Met Her? ·

2023/06/14

The Gay Rights Movement needed the jumpstart that LGTBQIA+ people on the fringe provided. Marsha and Sylvia were two of many gender non-conforming people who provided that push.

Have You Met Her? ·

2023/05/17

Since this month we are talking about women advocates, I wanted to include a woman who played an important part in the Civil Rights Movement. After considering several women, I came across Septima Clark's name and knew that I'd found someone who I needed to learn more about. Septima didn't make powerful speeches. She wasn't in the photographs that document important parts of Civil Rights history. However, Septima's contribution is woven into the fiber of the movement, and was a contributing factor
