MARSHA P. JOHNSON "A Beloved Star !"Marsha P. Johnson was one of the most-loved personalities in Greenwich Village & wherever else she wandered. She couldn't sing, dance or act but she had a special way of connecting with everyone, whether they were part of an audience or just passers-by on the street.
These "clips" capture that special "realness", that total openness which captured the hearts of all who knew her. Today, "Marsha P. Johnson" is a minor figure in gay history books, a personality brought back to life through contemporary musicals.
This video will introduce you to each other. Future videos will capture her life story, ended by a hate crime in July 1992.
