One Day in June by Tourmaline
You can sparkle, shimmer, shine - just like Marsha did.This vibrant and joyful picture book celebrates the legacy of Marsha P. Johnson, a Black trans woman and activist who played an instrumental role during the Stonewall Riots that led to PRIDE month, written by award-winning filmmaker and artist Tourmaline.
You wouldn't even believe the things Saint Marsha used to get up to-she had more of a zest for life than anyone I've ever known, and the biggest heart, too.
It's a hot summer day and New York City is buzzing like a hive of eager honeybees. From Riis Beach to the Flower District, into the West Village and over to the Brooklyn Museum, folks young and old embrace the resolute and love-filled spirit of icon activist Marsha P. Johnson in all that they do.
Told through the eyes of an old friend and with bright, buoyant artwork, this jubilant story celebrates the indelible stamp that Marsha P. Johnson left on New York City and beyond, culminating in a powerful convergence one day in June 2020, when activists from across all five boroughs rallied loudly for Black trans lives.
The spirit of Marsha has never been more alive and present in what we do.
