Interviewees include Dr. Joyce Hunter, James Credle, Sarah Schulman, and Andy Humm. Screening will be followed by a short talk-back with Beau Lancaster (The Shady Historian) and James Credle (Black and White Men Together).
This event is sponsored by the American LGBTQ+ Museum in partnership with Brooklyn Community Pride Center.
