The pioneering transgender activist Miss Major Griffin-Gracy has died at the age of 78. In 1969, she took part in the Stonewall uprising that launched the modern LGBT rights movement. For more than five decades, she was a tireless advocate for the Black trans community and trans people behind bars. Kierra Johnson, president of the National LGBTQ Task Force, said, “She was a revolutionary, a visionary, a legend — a foundational mother of our movement and an inspiration to those fighting for liberation.”
