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.
