On Transgender Day of Visibility, over 1,000 former National Park Service employees launched Rangers Uncensored, aimed at restoring erased transgender narratives from the NPS archives. This initiative responds to recent actions by the government to sanitize online records, removing mentions of transgender figures and altering LGBTQ+ terminology. The project serves as a testament to the commitment of these former employees, dubbed Resistance Rangers, to uphold the integrity of American history by acknowledging the contributions of transgender individuals such as Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera.
As America's storytellers, rangers have a duty to tell all Americans' stories. Attempts to rewrite the truth and erase Americans, their identities, and their impact on our country are unacceptable.
The website rangersuncensored.org compiles deleted and altered pages from the National Park Service's online archives, including tributes to Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera.
