Description
The Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) is recognized annually on November 20. TDOR was founded in 1999 by transgender advocate Gwendolyn Ann Smith as a vigil to honor Rita Hester, a transgender woman who was killed in 1998. The vigil commemorated the one-year anniversary of Hester’s death, and honored all the transgender people lost to violence that year. That initial event spread, eventually becoming a worldwide observance.
