combined with quirky rhythms throughout create

A Mother of a Revolution!—Omar Thomas.
This piece is a celebration of the bravery of trans women, and in particular,
Marsha "Pay It No Mind" Johnson. Marsha is credited with being one
of the instigators of the famous Stonewall uprising of June 28, 1969 - a
pivotal event in the gay rights movement of the 20th century. The disco
vibe in the latter half of the piece is meant to honor club culture, a sacred
space among LGBTQ people in which to love, live, mourn, heal, strategize,
connect, disconnect, and dance. This piece was commissioned by the
Desert Winds Freedom Band to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the
Stonewall uprising.
