The Westminster Town Hall Forum returns this fall for a series looking at life, culture, and politics in the United States, each telling a different American Story.

Fighting for Liberation: An American Story

Raquel Willis, Co-Founder of the Transgender Week of Visibility and Action Black transgender activist Raquel Willis shares in her new book The Risk it Takes to Bloom: On Life and Liberation that a freer society for all people ultimately helps everyone. Willis spent years as a newspaper reporter hiding her transgender identity, but increasing violence toward trans women of color inspired her to come out publicly. (A book signing will follow this forum.)
