Revisiting the Archive: Episode 3: Wendell Sayers

from Making Gay History | LGBTQ Oral Histories from the Archive · host Eric Marcus

Wendell Sayers understood isolation. Born in western Kansas in 1904, Wendell was the first Black lawyer to work for Colorado’s attorney general; living openly as a gay man wasn’t an option. When he attended meetings of the Mattachine Society in the 1950s, his race set him apart. Yet Wendell created a world for himself where he found purpose and meaning.
