Remembering Miss Major

Marsha P. Johnson is THE icon of the LGBTQ+ movement and one of the mothers of the fight for trans rights. Today, you can buy T-shirts emblazoned with her face or walk through a park named in her honor. This season on Afterlives, we hear from Marsha in her own words.
Afterlives is a documentary podcast series about trans lives we&rsquo;ve lost and the ways their stories have reshaped our world. Host Raquel Willis brings Marsha&rsquo;s story to life through rare archival interviews and intimate conversations with queer elders, friends, and historians.&nbsp; Legend says she threw the first brick at the Stonewall riots, setting off the modern movement for queer rights. Immortalized by Warhol and known as &ldquo;The Saint of Christopher Street,&rdquo; Marsha was also unhoused, surviving through sex work, navigating violence, and resisting with joy.
More than 30 years after her still-unsolved death in the Hudson River, Marsha&rsquo;s voice resounds louder than ever. As trans rights face renewed threats, Afterlives celebrates Marsha&rsquo;s story and reflects on her enduring power as a trans ancestor.
