Join us for Transgender Day of Remembrance.
Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) was started by transgender advocate Gwendolyn Ann Smith as a vigil to honor the memory of Rita Hester, a transgender woman who was killed in 1998. TDOR publicly mourns and honors the lives of individuals who might otherwise be forgotten. Join us as we read the names of individuals who lost their lives over the past year due to anti-transgender violence and hatred, followed by a silent vigil afterward.
If you have a piece of poetry/art work you want to share on Transgender Day of Remembrance or if you are also interested in helping us read the names of folks who lost their lives in 2021, please email LGBTQ@dickinson.edu.
