Life is stronger than death.” As they uttered those words, the lights turned on in Life’s Journey United Church of Christ and thus concluded the vigil honoring the memory of the victims of the shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando that claimed the lives of of 49 victims and injured at least 50 others.

Transgender Day of Remembrance and Resilience prompts reflection

Beaten. Stabbed. Shot. Suicide. Run over by car. These words seemed out of place next to the names, ages, photos and heartfelt stories of the 67 transgender and genderqueer people memorialized in Numen Lumen. Elon students, staff and community members honored National Transgender Day of Remembrance with a Remembrance and Resilience ceremony, during which people could read stories and see faces of those whose lives have been lost to transphobic violence or suicide in 2024 so far.  Transgender Day of Remembrance was first established in 1999 on the last day of Transgender Awareness Week in memoriam of Rita Hester, a trans woman who was killed in Massachusetts.
