Contextualization
With many people I know being a part of the LGBTQ+ community, myself included, I wanted to learn more about the fight to earn the rights we have today, so I chose to do my first project on Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, two transgender women of color who, along with other members of the community, paved the way to getting rights after decades of fights and riots. For this project, I used contextualization for this project by researching the events that happened on June 28, 1969 at the Stonewall Inn and what the community was like for the next 5 years after the Stonewall riots.
