DESCRIPTION:
Book by
A gem; a first-of-its-kind Jeffery Mingo There are so many reasons why you should buy this book. If you liked "Brother to Brother", you'll really enjoy its predecessor. So many of these talented brothers have succumbed to AIDS: Hemphill, Beam, Dixon, etc. This book is a testament to their greatness. The book ends with a list of black gay literary resources. He includes essays about black gay organizing. There's an interview with Richard Bruce Nugent, the Harlem Renaissance writer who was the fir. "It's OK 2 B Black & Gay" I didn't know there were black gay literary voices before I discovered and devoured IN THE LIFE almost 30 years ago. To see my story in print and told so eloquently by men like me truly transformed my life. For the first time I could honestly say: "Its Ok 2 B Black & Gay".I get that same feeling of pride when I read all those empowering lines today.Thank you Joe. May your soul be free!
