Listen "Black queer activists you should know"
Episode Synopsis
Black Americans have been vital in the fight for civil rights, and not just when it comes to race.
Numerous Black queer activists have fought for decades to secure equal rights for the LGBTQ community, yet their names are often left out of history books. This year, they’ve begun to receive more attention — particularly after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis argued queer history and Black history had no connection.
But many argue the contributions of Black queer activists have been vital in the fight for equality over the years.
Guests
David Johns, Executive Director, National Black Justice Coalition
Leslie Hall, Human Rights Campaign, Director of Historically Black Colleges & Universities Program
Brooke Migdon, Staff reporter at The Hill
Dr. Marlon M. Bailey, Black queer theorist and critical/performance ethnographer
