Oh yes, I remember hearing of her story..
I find it hard to believe she committed suicide given her bodacious personality - her skin tone made it easy to dismiss her death as a suicide. I still don't buy it!

I remember during my brief NYU days passing many of the historical spots related to the Stonewall Uprising - there was a cool little spot on Christopher Street, my date at the time, introduced me to..
We both had no idea of how historical that place/area was..
We both also had no idea how important a role the Black Gay presence was in the uprising. Just being truthful.

I think, in today's culture, Marsha Johnson would be pegged a 'Trans', but the controversy still persists.
RIP.
