A memorial will be held on December 6 to honor the life of Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, a renowned Black transgender activist who dedicated over 50 years to fighting for justice and equality. The celebration at Glide Memorial Church in San Francisco will feature music, testimonies, poetry, and collective reflection.
Notable speakers include Angela Davis, Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee, Congressmember Lateefah Simon, and Marvin K. White, who will pay tribute to Miss Major’s legacy as a trailblazer for the LGBTQ+ community.
