Fairview Junior High

November 20th, 2023

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance – It is an annual observance on November 20 started in 1999 by transgender advocate Gwendolyn Ann Smith. It was a vigil to honor the memory of Rita Hester, a transgender woman who was killed in 1998. Violence against transgender people still happens every day, and the fight for equality and acceptance is far from over. Today, we honor the memory of the transgender people whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence.
