S1E4 - Black, Gay and Modern [Part 2]

Part 2 of Black, Gay and Modern I pose this topic because the identity markers of black and gay have always been exploited as barriers to equality and self-determination in America. Yet despite racism, classism, and homophobia black gay men are openly flourishing in ways not seen even 20 years ago. What has caused this triumph? Let's hear thriving gay black men talk about how they define themselves, navigate intersectional trauma, and what their triumph is made of. Dr Ed Rice is an accomplished educator, author, and journalist.
