Transgender Day Of Remembrance & Honoring Leslie Feinberg

November 19, 2014 – Segment 4

Thursday, November 20, is Transgender Day of Remembrance, which honors those whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence. We commemorate this day and honor transgender pioneer Leslie Feinberg, who died earlier this week. Feinberg authored Stone Butch Blues in 1993. We talk to Kalima Young, Director of the Baltimore Art + Justice Project, a project of the Office of Community Engagement at the Maryland Institute College of Art; and Vann Michael, representative of the Maryland/DC Chapter of Black Transmen, Inc., and author of the “Real Trans talk” column for Baltimore Outloud.
