For MLK Day, MTV celebrates Miss Major and other civil rights activists



This Martin Luther King Day, MTV is celebrating a #DayofHeroes highlighting the work of women who have sparked change across many civil rights movements. They spoke to activists across the country — including Transgender Law Center’s Director of Programs Isa Noyola — about the women who inspire them.
