Founded in 1999 by a small group, including Gwendolyn Ann Smith, to memorialize the murder of transgender woman Rita Hester in Allston, Massachusetts, Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR) has been observed annually (from its inception) on November 20 as a day to memorialize those who have died as a result of transphobia.
