Chanelle, Monique, and Rita: The Start of TDOR

Chanelle, Monique, and Rita: The Start of TDOR

In the late 1990s, three Black transgender women in the Boston area were murdered and each case had a different outcome. After the third murder, an activist across the country in San Francisco became increasingly frustrated that the narrative about violence against transgender people was being controlled by the media outside the community. She started the Transgender Day of Remembrance, refusing to forget the stories of those we’ve lost.
