About this listen

Meet the revolutionary figures who put faces to the movement: Marsha P. Johnson, the drag queen who threw the first bottle at Stonewall; Sylvia Rivera, who fought to keep transgender people centered in gay liberation; Harvey Milk, the politician who proved representation matters; and Audre Lorde, the poet who insisted that liberation must be intersectional. This episode explores the complex relationships between heroes and movements, the evolution of allyship, and the ongoing tension between insider and outsider strategies. Discover how ordinary people became extraordinary activists, how chosen families sustained revolutionary work, and how personal courage transformed into collective power that changed laws, hearts, and minds.
