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 across the world.
