Before Pride, before Stonewall, before RuPaul’s Drag Race—there was William Dorsey Swann. Born into slavery in 1860, Swann became the first self-proclaimed drag queen in American history and led a radical movement of joy, defiance, and survival in the heart of post-Civil War Washington D.C.
In this episode, we dive into the miraculous story of America’s first queer freedom fighter—a man who threw drag balls when the world threw chains.
