Alan Fitzgerald Walker, of Fayetteville, Ark., was beaten and strangled to death on Nov. 9, 1996. His home was vandalized and his tires slashed. His body was found three days later.
Yesterday, his life was just one of the 370 memorialized at the HUB-Robeson Center with blue, purple and white fliers that stuck out of the lawn in celebration of the Transgender Day of Remembrance.
Each individual flier memorialized a transgender person killed in an act of hate. The flier also specified the date and location of each individual’s death, from New York to California.
