Our voices are important to the fabric of who we are and to America.

If you happened to miss last evening's exciting and motivating panel, Live to Tell: The Life and Legacy of Black Queer Literature, never fear: I've got it for you right here.
Presented by the Black Gay & Lesbian Archive of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in conjunction with author Terrance Dean, the panel addressed issues of access to mainstream publication, the unique value and struggles of independent Black LGBT publishers, the uses and abuses of social media, the inspiration of trailblazers and hell-raisers--from James Baldwin to Staceyann Chin--and much, much more.
Steven G. Fullwood, Project Director of the Schomburg's Black Gay & Lesbian Archive, introduced the program and moderated a panel that included (in the order first heard on this recording):
Stanley Bennett Clay
Cheryl Boyce-Taylor
Terrance Dean
James Earl Hardy
Imani Henry
