In February 2020, the Kansas City metro area was surprised when a missing persons report went out for Angela Green. The date she was last seen was June 2019. We all wondered how she was missing for so long with no one filing a report. A couple weeks ago, I talked to her daughter Ellie and found out why.

In 1984, 12-year-old Sharon Baldeagle disappeared. Unlike most long term missing children’s cases, we know who kidnapped her. But when the man gave a convoluted story about what exactly happened, he opened up a search area from Texas to Wyoming and everywhere in between.

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.
