Miss Major Griffin-Gracy

Miss Major Griffin-Gracy was a Black, transgender activist who has fought for over fifty years for her trans/gender nonconforming community.

Major was a veteran of the infamous Stonewall Riots, a former sex worker, and a survivor of Dannemora Prison and Bellevue Hospital’s “queen tank.” Her global legacy of activism was rooted in her own experiences, and she continued her work throughout her life to uplift transgender women of color, particularly those who have survived incarceration and police brutality.
