DESCRIPTION:MAJOR! follows the life and campaigns of Miss Major Griffin-Gra
 cy\, a 73-year-old Black transgender woman who has been fighting for the r
 ights of trans women of color for over 40 years.\n\nMiss Major’s persona
 l story and activism for transgender civil rights\, from mobile outreach a
 nd AIDS prevention to fighting the prison industrial complex\, intersects 
 LGBT struggles for justice and equality from the 1960s to today. She is a 
 veteran of the 1969 Stonewall Rebellion and was incarcerated at Attica mon
 ths after the 1971 Uprising. Most recently\, Miss Major has served as the 
 executive director of the San Francisco-based Transgender Gender Variant I
 ntersex Justice Project (TGIJP)\, a grassroots organization advocating for
  trans women of color in and outside of prison that is led by trans women 
 of color.\n\nMiss Major’s extraordinary life and personal story is one o
 f resilience and celebration in a community that has been historically tra
 umatized and marginalized. While mainstream gay rights and marriage equali
 ty dominate the headlines\, Miss Major’s life is a testament to the fier
 ce survivalism and every day concerns of transgender women of color\, who 
 so often live in the margin of the already marginalized.\n\nThis screening
  is free but only open to the Goucher community.\n\nThis event is sponsere
 d by the Social Justice Committee\, Center for Race\, Equity and Identity 
 (CREI)\, Center for Geographies of Justice and Cultures\, Title IX program
  and Provost Office
