This week, B is out of the office so Lauren has prepared a re-telling of an early episode for Hannah - Marsha P. Johnson and her incredible impact on American life today. We delve into their childhood, how they discovered "Marsha" and, of course, how Marsha impacted the historic event in American history, The Stonewall Riots of 1969!
