This week, the Queer Power Hour is focussing on queer Black activists and changemakers, people who have used their voice to draw attention to system racism and inequalities.
Just a heads-up: this episode of the Queer Power Hour includes an interview from Making Gay History with black civil rights leader Bayard Rustin from 1986. Rustin quotes a white woman using the n-word in its entirety. We have decided not to bleep it out since that word in that encounter motivated Rustin to come out as a gay man.
- Also in this episode: Eric Jansen from Out in the Bay talks with Pamela Snead, who uses her poetry and prose to “speak the unspeakable” and help others heal.
