Marsha P. Johnson, a Black transgender activist, played a pivotal role in the LGBTQ+ rights movement, notably participating in the 1969 Stonewall uprising and co-founding the Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (STAR) with Sylvia Rivera. Despite her significant contributions, Johnson's legacy has often been overlooked in mainstream historical narratives. Recent efforts aim to rectify this, including the announcement of a comprehensive biography titled "Marsha: The Joy and Defiance of Marsha P. Johnson" by Tourmaline, set for release in May 2025. This biography seeks to shed light on Johnson's activism, performances, and enduring impact on LGBTQ+ rights.
