In our Pride special, Island Noir: Beyond the Palm Trees revisits the suspicious death of Marsha “Pay It No Mind” Johnson, the Black trans activist who, alongside her friend Sylvia Rivera, co-founded STAR (Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries) and helped lay the foundation for what we now recognize as Pride.
In 1992, Marsha’s body was found in the Hudson River. The NYPD called it suicide.
