    2:32. I mixed up Trans Day of Visibility with Trans Day of Remembrance and that really threw everything off :/ I also had never heard of the photographer or criminal justice reformer and basketball great

    I did not know any of the ppl or bands etc referenced in this puzzle, I had to lean on guesses and letter checking. Proud of myself for finishing it tbh!
