Long Live the Resistance: Marsha P. Johnson

A tribute to Marsha P. Johnson's life a legacy.IconActivistTrailblazerSex WorkerSurvivorQueenMarsha was many things to many people in her short life. She was loud. She was proud. And she was persecuted.But she didn't let that stop her.I was assigned a project to research someone that lived a different experience than me.

Her anger and her perseverance.Positive Discourse Co chooses to be a platform that informs and inspires conversation.The protests against homo-phobia, police bruta
