Celebrate #TransgenderAwarenessWeek by honoring the legacy of the #ComptonCafeteriaRiots 🏳️‍⚧️✨

In August 1966, at Compton’s Cafeteria in San Francisco’s Tenderloin District, the trans community took a stand against ongoing police harassment. (1/4)

[the Montrose Center @MontroseCenter]

The exact date of the riot remains unknown, as queer history was often undocumented due to discrimination. Still, the impact of this uprising led to the creation of the National Transsexual Counseling Unit (NTCU), one of the world’s first trans advocacy organizations.🩷🤍🩵 (3/4)

As the founding editor of #TransGriot, Monica amplified the voices of trans women of color and brought national attention to injustices faced by the community. Her work highlighted the tragic reality of trans homicides, ensuring victims were properly honored and remembered.🩷🤍🩵

���️‍⚧️ This #TransgenderAwarenessWeek, we honor trailblazers like Monica Roberts (1962–2020), a proud Houstonian and trans advocate. ✨

Monica’s legacy as a storyteller, advocate, and changemaker lives on, reminding us all to continue the fight for justice and equality. 🏳️‍🌈❤️
