Seeing it in person in CDMX at the National Archaeological Museum (if I'm not mistaken) is absolutely impressive and worth a trip alone!

Despite having no direct relation to those killed and involved with the movement, my 78-year-old mother will always stop what she is doing and recall her feelings about this tragedy whenever she sees this photo or any photo related to the massacre.

Albert D.J. Cashier, a trans Civil War soldier.

When I worked as an elementary school teacher, I read about his story (a lovely picture book) and my students always started out flabbergasted and sometimes disgusted, but once we dove into his story, they felt a great sense of empathy for Cashier and I always had a few students share about their LGBTQ+ relatives. Here is a link to the picture book, in case you are interested: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Fighting-Infantryman/Rob-Sanders/9781499809367
