The ten-year remembrance of Matthew Shepard's murder is also the
ten-year remembrance of Rita Hester's. Rita was a transgender woman
from Boston, Massachusetts who was viciously stabbed to death on
November 28, 1998. Rita was murdered only one month after Matthew was
brutally attacked and died in Laramie, Wyoming.
