The editor of Souls of Queer Black Folk comes to DC on Fri., May 24th, at 6 p.m.!
The Souls of Queer Black Folk anthology began as a three-panel discussion during Black History Month on the City College of New York campus from 2014-2017. The book also traces its roots to the first black LGBTQIA course offered in 2013 in the Black Studies program. The title of the course is Black Art in the Age of AIDS. Academics, professional writers, clergy, and undergrad students contribute a robust variety of stories, lived experiences, and histories of black queer people and help regenerate their importance.
The editor, T. Anthony Roulette, is joining us on the Busboys stage to share about Black LGBTQIA history and how this anthology came together. Copies of the book will be available for purchase during and after the event, and Roulette will be signing following the program.
This event is free and open to all. Our program will be followed by an audience Q&A. Copies of the book will be available for purchase before and after the event. We ask that guests RSVP in order to receive direct updates about the event from Busboys and Poets Books.
Hosted by Busboys and Poets @ 14th & V, 2021 14th St., NW, Washington, DC. Learn more here.
