LGBT History Month | October 2024 | Transgender Legacy Flag

Rita Hester was a Black trans woman born in Hartford Connecticut in 1964. Hester was a victim of anti-transgender violence in Allston, Massachusetts, on November 28, 1998. Her murder sparked Transgender Day of Remembrance. Hester was college educated, loved to perform, write poetry, travel the world, and dance. In 2023, during the twenty-fifth anniversary, Ephraim Adamz created the Transgender Legacy Flag to highlight the intersectionality of being Black and trans.
