Portrait of Sylvia Rivera (1951-2002) posing in front of her altar to Marsha P. Johnson (1944-1992), by Valerie Shaff, ca. 2000

In the early 1970’s Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P. Johnson co-founded S.T.A.R., Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries, an organization designed to achieve rights for her community, and provide social services to this largely ignored and stigmatized group. For a short while she and Marsha P. Johnson ran S.T.A.R. House which provided shelter for homeless young street queens. Lack of funds and problems with the certificate of occupancy for S.T.A.R. House, forced the abandonment of the venture at that time, but Rivera never lost the dream of creating a supportive and safe living space for young transgender people.

Rivera was greatly disillusioned with the desire of many early gay and lesbian activists to distance the gay movement from transvestites, drag queens, and other gender variant people, in spite of the fact that these people were often the “shock troops” for the entire gay community.

The Sylvia Rivera Law Project notes,

A veteran of the 1969 Stonewall uprising, Sylvia was a tireless advocate for all those who have been marginalized as the “gay rights” movement has mainstreamed. Sylvia fought hard against the exclusion of transgender people from the Sexual Orientation Non-Discrimination Act in New York, and was a loud and persistent voice for the rights of people of color and low-income queers and trans people.

@waxbitch sent me a treasure! She sent me a photograph of an old classroom.
She said:
“ This is a small town near Jones Falls, Ontario Canada where my Grandmother Alice Wills (Birtch) and her 7 sisters and one brother were raised. Alice wasn’t old enough for school yet but 4 of the Wills sisters and one brother were. This was a one room school house . You can see that the teacher is holding a bell.”
How amazing! You can see the bell! Imagine the old times

I already post this first picture but not the lasts ones. So we have here a wonderful story.
The name of the man in the photo is Manuel, the grandfather of @nataliaovsanchez
She is extremely grateful to him, she told me:
My grandpa, Manuel, had many stories to tell but one that stayed with was this one. He was in a bus at a young age and it went down a hill. He told me that he was greatly injured and said that he could feel his own skull . No one came to help him. He was left there for dead. He never ever gave up. He said that he put his skin back like a banana peel haha. He taught me a life lesson that you can not always depend on others and you must be willing to fight for your life. He is my biggest inspiration and my life long hero. thank you:)“ how beautiful story @nataliaovsanchez ❤️
In the last photo she also told me: You can see that he only has one hand. he never complained and would be frustrated when he couldn’t do something and was ashamed to ask. my grandpa was very proud of how he worked for his life and that nothing was easily given to him.”
Your grandpa was a wonderful man Natalia. Be proud and feel that love, that’s amazing❤️❤️ congratulations for your amazing ancestry
