Abstract
Tyler Vile is a Baltimore-based activist and organizer. In this oral history, Vile shares her personal history living in Baltimore and how it awakened her sense of social and political justice. She talks about how she experienced the 2015 Baltimore Uprising and describes her work with the Baltimore Transgender Alliance, which was formed in the aftermath of the Uprising, and explains how her trans, Jewish, and disabled identities have shaped her activism. This oral history was conducted by undergraduate students enrolled in Dr. Joseph Plaster’s Queer Oral History course, which was taught at Johns Hopkins University in spring 2022.
