On this day in 2019, a powerful LGBTQ+ rights activist, performer, and self-identified drag queen Marsha P Johnson was given the posthumous honour of “Grand Marshal” of the New York City Pride March.
In a decorative, colorful illustration by Los Angeles-based artist Rob Gilliam, the Google Doodle today celebrates the LGBTQ+ activist Johnson, who is widely credited as one of the pioneers of the LGBTQ+ rights movement in the United States. Johnson was born on 24 August 1945, in New Jersey as Malcolm Michaels Jr.
