Memorial Video for Marsha P. Johnson

1944 - 1992

Marsha was found floating in the Hudson River near the piers in New York City shortly after the 1992 Pride March. The police “investigation” reportedly consisted of two phone calls, and they ruled her death a suicide. A people’s postering campaign dug up reports that Marsha had been harassed near the piers earlier that evening. — Transgender Warriors: Making History from Joan of Arc to RuPaul by Leslie Feinberg
