We have so much to tell you about! In this episode, we dig into the life of Storme DeLarverie, a man who was born to a black mother and white father. Mom was a servant and Dad was wealthy. Because he was a child of black and white parents he was never issued a birth certificate and chose to celebrate his birthday on December 24th. His dad paid for his education but he was raised mostly by his grandfather. He joined the Ringling Brothers Circus as a show rider and began to get on stage at Jazz Clubs at only 15. He would travel Europe with a jazz ensemble before returning to the United States where he joined the Jewel Box Revue. The Jewel Box was at the time the only interracial drag show and it toured all over the country even to military bases. And Storme became the show's lone drag king and emcee. He was on hand at the Stonewall when the infamous uprising began in New York City aand may have been the one to kick off violence. He later went on to become the Guardian of Greenwich Village in this, wow this was a true American episode of the Family Plot Podcast.
