Podcasts about marsha p johnson

In honor of what would have been Marsha P. Johnson's 80th birthday, we're replaying this conversation with Tourmaline about her book “Marsha: The Joy and Defiance of Marsha P. Johnson.” In it, she shares what it took to piece together Marsha's story, from her early life in Times Square to her radical visions of freedom, spirituality, and care. She also unpacks Marsha's expansive political imagination, her collaboration with groups like the Black Panthers, and why telling the full truth about her legacy matters more than ever in the face of right-wing historical revisionism.

We’re sharing unaired segments of our multiple conversations with Tourmaline, so you can learn more about her book, her creative process across mediums, and her wide ranging scholarship of Black trans lives. Coinciding with her recent biography Marsha: The Joy and Defiance of Marsha P. Johnson, Tourmaline also published a children’s book about Marsha, One Day in June. Plus, you can dig through her old Tumblr posts where she shared some archival research about Marsha.

Marsha P. Johnson is THE icon of the LGBTQ+ movement and a mother of the fight for trans rights. Today, you can buy T-shirts emblazoned with her face or walk through a park named in her honor. Now, hear from Marsha in her own words on a new limited series, Afterlives: Marsha P. Johnson. Host Raquel Willis brings Marsha’s story to life through rare archival interviews and intimate conversations with queer elders, friends, and historians. Legend says she threw the first brick at the Stonewall riots, setting off the modern movement for queer rights. Immortalized by Andy Warhol and known as “The Saint of Christopher Street,” Marsha was also unhoused, surviving through sex work, navigating violence, and resisting with joy. More than 30 years after her still-unsolved death in the Hudson River, Marsha’s voice resounds louder than ever. As trans rights face renewed threats, Afterlives celebrates Marsha’s story and reflects on her enduring power as a trans ancestor. Listen to Afterlives wherever you get your podcasts.

[REBROADCAST FROM MAY 22, 2025] We continue our week spotlighting memoirs and biographies with a conversation about New York City LGBTQ+ rights activist Marsha P. Johnson with Tourmaline, author of the new book Marsha: The Joy and Defiance of Marsha P. Johnson.

Join Robert Ellsberg, publisher of Orbis Books, in this One On One interview with author Marjorie Corbman, as they discuss Divine Rage: Malcolm X's Challenge to Christians.  The impact of Malcolm X's apocalyptic vision—in which the world's oppressed would join together to make God's righteous judgment on racism, colonialism, and all forms of slavery—galvanized, outraged, and troubled many. In Divine Rage educator Marjorie Corbman explores how Christian activists and theologians wrestled with it, from Congregational ministry Rev. Albert B. Cleage, Jr., to a young Black scholar, James H. Cone, to Catholic monk and writer Thomas Merton, to queer activists of color Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera.Marjorie Corbman is an educator and scholar working as an academic director at Mansfield Hall, a residential living-learning community for neurodivergent college students in Burlington, VT. Alumna of the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London (MA) and Fordham University (PhD), Corbman was assistant professor in the department of theology and religious studies at Molloy College from 2020 to 2022.Get your copy today: https://maryknoll.link/3b04ce#MarjorieCorbman  MalcomX #RobertEllsberg #OrbisBooks

Reframing Media Narratives for Queer and Trans Liberation with Marsha P Johnson's Story.  How Artists and Activists Are Reframing Media Narratives for Queer Liberation.SAVE THE DATE July 16th 7pm EDT:  Laura hosts an online conversation just for our donors. It's a chance to connect, ask questions, and hear what's coming up behind the scenes. Make a one off donation or become a sustaining member by making it monthly go to LauraFlanders.org/donate. This show is made possible by you! Episode Description: Activist and artist Marsha P. Johnson was one of the key founders of the gay liberation movement after the 1969 Stonewall Uprising, but it's taken years for her to receive recognition. On this special Pride Month edition of “Meet the BIPOC Press”, we're celebrating Marsha's life and legacy with two activists carrying her story forward. A new biography from Penguin House, “Marsha: The Joy and Defiance of Marsha P. Johnson” by our guest, Tourmaline traces Marsha's working-class beginnings to her work with sex workers and street activists, to her death in 1992. Qween Jean is a self-described “spiritual daughter” of Marsha and the founder of Black Trans Liberation. Explore how mainstream media coverage once excluded Marsha, and what's changed since then. We also unpack the media's coverage of transphobia and the recent ruling from Tennessee that restricts gender-affirming care for minors. In the face of extreme backlash and repression, how are artists and activists reframing media narratives for queer and trans liberation?“A lot of trans and queer people, especially here in New York City, that are asylum seekers that have had to leave other countries from persecution now find themselves in a place of purgatory . . . They can't even go to get a hormone shot because they're afraid. What if ICE is literally outside waiting for us?” - Qween Jean“Marsha knew that these conditions didn't get to determine how she felt about herself. No court, no Supreme Court, no police officer, no governor, no president . . . She was creating the conditions to remind herself and each other that we too get to feel beautiful and know our value firmly.” - TourmalineGuests:•  Qween Jean: Founder, Black Trans Liberation; Human Rights Activist & Costume Designer•  Tourmaline: Artist; Author, MARSHA: The Joy and Defiance of Marsha P.

Now in year three of my Pride Month Feature coverage on the show, I'm more excited than I've ever been about shining a light onto the diversity of projects representing queer focused characters and getting to chat with the creators who make them. For myself, Pride this year feels like a more somber affair as the current administration seeks to not only suppress the struggle of the queer community but also to attempt to eliminate their history and in the most extreme cases, invalidating that certain people even have the right to exist but instead of getting down about it, let's flip the script so it is my pleasure to host comic creators Alex L. Combs and Andrew Eakett to talk about their engaging new graphic novel out now Trans History: From Ancient Times to the Present Day from Candlewick Press. I encourage everyone to pick up Trans History: From Ancient Times to the Present Day and to approach it with an open and curious mind. I went into it not knowing exactly what to expect and came out with a much more rounded historical perspective and love the use of a comics formatting to make what many consider a drier subject matter with history in general, far more engaging. Buy it direct from Candlewood Press. Alex's website Alex on BlueSky Further education as discussed by Alex and Andrew on the show Ajuan Mance author of Gender Studies: The Confessions of an Accidental Outlaw Bishakh Som author of Spellbound Breena Nuñez and Lawrence Lindell (I mispronounced "Lindell" and am really embarrassed!) creators of the indie comics collective Laneha House Sensitivity readers used in the book: Writing Diversely Hans Lindahl Trans History: From Ancient Times to the Present Day From the publisher An essential introduction to trans history, from ancient times to the present day, in full-color graphic nonfiction format. Deeply researched, highly readable, and featuring a broad range of voices. What does “trans” mean, and what does it mean to be trans? Diversity in human sex and gender is not a modern phenomenon, as readers will discover through illustrated stories and records that introduce historical figures ranging from the controversial Roman emperor Elagabalus to the swashbuckling seventeenth-century conquistador Antonio de Erauso to veterans of the Stonewall uprising Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera. In addition to these individual profiles, the book explores some of the societal roles played by trans people beginning in ancient times and shows how European ideas about gender were spread across the globe. It explains how the science of sexology and the growing acceptance of (and backlash to) gender nonconformity have helped to shape what it means to be trans today. Illustrated conversations with modern activists, scholars, and creatives highlight the breadth of current trans experiences and give readers a deeper sense of the diversity of trans people, a group numbering in the millions. Extensive source notes provide further resources. Moving, funny, heartbreaking, and empowering, this remarkable compendium from trans creators Alex L. Combs and Andrew Eakett is packed with research on every dynamic page. PATREON We have a new Patreon, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CryptidCreatorCornerpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Today we are joined by the Founder of LGBTQ Outdoors, Justin Yoder, as we tell the story of Marsha P. Johnson and the Stonewall Uprising.  In the early hours of June 28, 1969, a police raid on the Stonewall Inn ignited a rebellion that would change history. The Stonewall Uprising became the catalyst to a nationwide LGBTQ rights movement.  At the heart of this moment was Marsha P. Johnson, a Black trans activist, drag queen, and revolutionary who became a symbol of resilience and joy in the face of injustice.

Tourmaline's work spotlighting the life of Marsha P. Johnson began with collecting a popular archive online, then a film, and now a biography that's out May 20. In the book, you learn about the notorious Black, trans heroine who moved to New York when she was thirteen, rioted at Stonewall, protected the dolls with Sylvia Rivera and their group Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries/STAR, performed in and around the Village, and left the door open behind her for future queer and trans people, and everyone who believes we should be allowed to self-determine our destinies.

This week, Imara sits down with author and artist Tourmaline to talk about her groundbreaking new book, Marsha: The Joy and Defiance of Marsha P. Johnson.

Marsha P. Johnson was a trailblazer in the fight for gay rights. But Johnson's legacy extends beyond her activism: "Marsha was a really full person who lived a vibrant life. She was a muse and model for Andy Warhol," and a performer in New York City and London. In this episode, we talk to activist and author Tourmaline about what we can all learn from Johnson's legacy in times of adversity.Tourmaline's two books about Marsha P. Johnson — Marsha: The Joy and Defiance of Marsha P. Johnson and One Day in June — are out on May 20, 2025.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Romania made headlines—and shocked the world—when it annulled a presidential election at the end of last year, citing evidence of foreign interference aimed at supporting a pro-Russian far-right candidate. It was a bold and necessary move, one that stands in stark contrast to what the U.S. should have done—and is now facing the consequences for not doing. But why would Romania take such a decisive stand? The answer lies in its history. Romania's Moscow-backed dictatorship was among the most brutal behind the Iron Curtain, a painful past that still unites much of the country today. In this week's episode, we delve into Romania's complex history, weaving in a personal story from Andrea's own family. Her father-in-law, Mihai Victor Serdaru, a medical student in 1956 Bucharest, attempted to lead a student protest in solidarity with the Hungarian Uprising next door. To help make sense of her years of research, Andrea turned to Dr. Corina Snitar, a historian and Lecturer in Central and Eastern European Studies at the University of Glasgow in Scotland. Dr. Snitar is the author of Opposition, Repression, and Cold War: The 1956 Student Movement in Timișoara and contributed the chapter Women's Experiences of 1956: Student Protesters and Partisans in Romania to the book Women's Experiences of Repression in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. The discussion of how to topple a dictator will continue in this week's bonus show for our Patreon community, where we'll dive into a lively book club salon for political scientist Gene Sharp's revolutionary handbook, From Dictatorship to Democracy. Sharp's work has inspired liberation movements worldwide, and we'll explore its urgent lessons for us today. Look for that on Friday. A huge thank you to everyone who supports the show. We could not make Gaslit Nation without you! “Just as military officers must understand force structures, tactics, logistics, munitions, the effects of geography, and the like in order to plot military strategy, political defiance planners must understand the nature and strategic principles of nonviolent struggle.” ― Gene Sharp, From Dictatorship to Democracy   Want to enjoy Gaslit Nation ad-free?

Episode Summary:Queernundrum listeners, we have a serious and urgent queernundrum to unpack. In February 2025, the National Park Service (NPS) quietly removed references to transgender activists from the Stonewall National Monument website—an act that erases the vital contributions of trans people to LGBTQ+ history. This isn't just a simple edit; it's part of a larger effort to rewrite history, erase queer activism, and justify ongoing discrimination against trans people today.

Join us as we discover and uncover some lesser featured notable African Americans for Black History Month! So many people have fought so hard for their rights in history, we love learning about the ones we never learned much of in school. Kelsey tells us the life and legacy of Marsha P. Johnson, an activist, drag queen, and American sweetheart that took New York by storm. She is remembered for her work in gay rights, as well as advocating for trans rights and AIDS activism. Truly a treasure that did so much for her community, and was taken from us too soon.Following that, we dive into some African American inventors (one called himself the Black Thomas Edison), and one very impactful agricultural engineer. That's right, maybe you know about George Washington Carver and his many, many peanut products that helped revamp the soil of the South, or Garret Morgan inventor of two life-saving devices and improvements. Finally, we cannot forget Marie Von Britton Brown, co-inventor of the first security system, which became the basis for many of the systems we use today. Think two-way communication, and peephole cameras, but in the sixties! Plus mentions of "milk leg", the importance of crop rotation, and so much weird food! Have a snack handy and tuck into Black History Month with C&C! Darkcast Promo of the Week: Autumn's Oddities

“B is for bookish, for writers who urge change, like Joan Didion's essays, Naomi Shihab Nye's range.  Brilliant poems, songs, stories, speeches and plays for those writing before us and those writing today.  We know words are vital for the empathy they bring, How Maya Angelou taught us that even caged birds can sing.”  The ABCs of Women's History is an empowering picture book from the New York Times bestselling creative team behind The ABCs of Black History, Rio Cortez and Lauren Semmer. It's a vibrant intersectional celebration of women's power, resilience, and achievement, brought to life through stunning illustrations. In a beautiful picture book in verse brimming with G for Groundbreaking women, National Book Award nominee Rio Cortez and illustrator Lauren Semmer celebrate all the joys, challenges, and historic forward movement of women's history in the United States, with a special focus on the Black women, brown women, transwomen, and others who make change happen. Featured in the book are activists and changemakers like Angela Davis and Marsha P. Johnson, painters and musicians like Georgia O'Keeffe and Kathleen Hanna, scientists and suffragists like Katherine Johnson and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and so many more trailblazing women! The ABCs of Women's History is perfect for providing a conversation starter about equality, women's rights, and the brilliant women who shape our world. It's about historic moments—Kamala Harris being sworn in as the first African-American and first Asian-American Vice President of the United States; Title IX passing  through Congress; Seneca Falls, where the first women's rights convention was held; the Riot Grrrls movement; and so much more. The book is complete with backmatter that shares the details and historical context of the women featured.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

This sermon explores deep feelings of disappointment, fear, and uncertainty following a presidential election outcome that challenged Rev. Dr Marlin Lavanhar's ideals of kindness, equality, and justice. Reflecting on a legacy of activism, he shares inspiration from Unitarian minister A. Powell Davies, emphasizing that American patriotism is a commitment to justice, tolerance, and the common good. Drawing from history, he highlights the importance of continued struggle and perseverance in the face of setbacks, invoking the resilience of past movements and figures like Martin Luther King Jr. and Marsha P. Johnson. Rev. Lavanhar challenges the congregation to root themselves deeply in the fight for human rights and justice, lest they passively witness, as the German population did during Kristallnacht, the erosion of freedom and humanity.

This Pride month, we chose to cover three biographical projects that focus on Black queer experiences. First, we talk about two different approaches to presenting the life of Marsha P. Johnson, an important activist involved in the 1969 uprising at the Stonewall Inn. With the Drunk History episode "Marsha P. Johnson Sparks the Stonewall Riots," and the short film "Happy Birthday, Marsha!" we see two paths to sharing Johnson's story & her connection to Pride. We also talk about the gaps in the documentary "The Gospel According To André" -  a recent study of the icon Andre Leon Talley. Join us for this look at the man called "the Kofi Annan of what you've got on" and the woman who insisted: "no pride for some of us, without liberation for all of us!"

In the Summer of 1992, the scorching temperatures in Manhattan were of little concern to Marsha P. Johnson. Her days didn't truly start until long after the sun had gone down. Fresh from the Pride Parade, Marsha made plans the evening of July 4th, 1992 to meet her friend Miss Kitty at The Anvil, one of the many gay bars lining Christopher Street in Greenwich Village. They were supposed to rendezvous at midnight. Only …Marsha never showed. Two days later, on July 6th, a passerby spotted something floating just off the Hudson River Pier shortly after sunrise. It was Marsha. The LGBTQ rights activist was dead at 46. Given Marsha's notoriety as an outspoken supporter of gay and trans rights, friends immediately suspected foul play. The NYPD and medical examiner saw things differently, quickly declaring Marsha's death a suicide by drowning. Those who knew the transgender pioneer well dismissed the notion that Johnson took her own life. Her history of substance abuse and depression notwithstanding, Marsha had never given any indication she was suicidal. Over 30 years have passed and still, Marsha P. Johnson's death remains shrouded in mystery.  Follow Jami on Instagram & TikTok @JamiOnAir and join the Serial Streamers true crime TV club!
