Remember the black LGBTQA community, too
In all the talk of the fearlessness of Harriet Tubman, the boldness of Rosa Parks, the inspiration that was Martin Luther King Jr. and the groundbreaking achievement of Barack Obama, the lives of black LGBT are often left out of the scope of black history. Bayard Rustin, the chief organizer of the 1963 March on Washington and advisor to Martin Luther King Jr., Angela Davis, Emil Wilbekin, Janet Mock are amongst the many others who deserve just as much recognition as the black trailblazers that don’t identify as LGBT.
