Authors Caro De Robertis and Tourmaline illuminate the legacies of LGBTQ+ activists and artists who laid the groundwork for future generations. In So Many Stars: An Oral History of Trans, Nonbinary, Genderqueer, and Two-Spirit People of Color, De Robertis provides an intimate look at the lives of LGBTQ+ elders of color, sharing deeply personal interviews about navigating family issues, coming out, and the AIDS crisis. In Marsha: The Joy and Defiance of Marsha P. Johnson, Tourmaline captures both the monumental activism and rich artistry of Marsha P. Johnson in the first definitive biography of the Black transgender revolutionary.
