History about D.O.R.:
The Transgender Day of Remembrance was set aside to memorialize those
who were killed due to anti-transgender hatred or prejudice. The event is held
in November to honor Rita Hester, whose murder in 1998 kicked off the
“Remembering Our Dead” web project and a San Francisco candlelight vigil in
1999. Since then, the event has grown to encompass memorials in dozens of cities
like Los Angeles and across the world.
