One of the major
problems in the African American trans community has been we are disconnected from our history.   As Carter G. Wooden stated in 1922,  "The case of the Negro is well taken care of when it is shown how he has far influenced the development of civilization."    So yes, the Dewey's Lunch Counter Sit In, Lady Java's work in Los Angeles to take down the odious Rule Number 9, Stonewall Rebellion veterans such as Miss Major, and Marsha P. Johnson's contributions to shape the nascent trans rights movement are emerging from the shadows.
