Transgender Day of Remembrance
November 17, 2009
The Transgender Day of Remembrance was set aside to memorialize those who were killed due to anti-transgender hatred or prejudice. The event is held in November to honor Rita Hester, whose murder on November 28th, 1998 kicked off the “Remembering Our Dead” web project and a San Francisco candlelight vigil in 1999. Rita Hester’s murder — like most anti-transgender murder cases — has yet to be solved.
Help us honor those individuals by attending the Fargo-Moorhead community Transgender Day of Remembrance. The event will be held Friday, November 20th, 2009, from 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm, at the Unitarian Universalist Church, 121 9th St S, Fargo, ND [map]
