Trans Lives Matter: Marsha P. Johnson 32 Facts, Black Female Activist LGBTQ #blacklivesmatter Pride

June is Pride Month, a month to celebrate the LGBTQ community and all they have fought for and a time to recognize the ways our world can still progress in terms of equality. A major name in the LGBTQ community is Marsha P. Johnson. What exactly did she do? More like what didn't she do! Marsha P. Johnson was an African-American transgender woman, who was a prominent figure of the 1960s and 1970s and best known for her activism at the Stonewall protests. Marsha was a trans-rights activist who was very active in the LGBTQ community, and as Black Lives Matter protests continue on strong, the world is remembering Marsha for her amazing work in the gay community, and how she shaped the movement in those crucial years.

From NJ to NYC

On August 24, 1945, Johnson was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey as Malcolm Michaels Jr. Growing up in a stricter home where expressing her true self often proved difficult, Johnson made the move from Elizabeth to Greenwich Village in New York City at age 21.

The Origin Of Her Name

After moving to New York City, Johnson began living as her true, free self. Known as Black Marsha for a while, Marsha settled on Marsha P. Johnson. The P stood for “Pay It No Mind” and Johnson came from a restaurant she frequented, Howard Johnson’s.

Pay It No Mind!

The saying which helped Marsha declare her name was actually a phrase the activist used constantly. Friends have said that when people questioned her gender or her ideas on gender identity, she would simply quip back, “Pay it no mind!”
