Transgender Day of Remembrance

All of the names framed in flickering candlelight at Wilkes University last week felt heavy for Alec Walker-Serrano, but a few especially weighed on him as he spoke at Transgender Day of Remembrance. Each November, Transgender Day of Remembrance honors the lives of transgender, nonbinary and gender-expansive people who died by violence in the United States in the past year.

Gathering at Wilkes University commemorates transgender, nonbinary and gender-expansive people who died by violence in the United States in the past year.
