Celebrate Pride Month by learning about the legendary Marsha P. Johnson. The mythic tale of her throwing the first brick of the Stonewall Uprising is often repeated, but rarely unpacked as a metaphorization of her life's work and impact. In actual fact, Marsha did not throw the first brick; according to her own recollection she showed up about 45 minutes late carrying a handbag full of bricks. Some witnesses reported seeing her climb a lamppost and swing the bag of bricks down onto the windshield of a cop car. https://youtu.be/59toCMoI13Q?si=q_Ll-r1AfVOk6DXh
