Untold Stories: The Visionaries Behind the Harlem Renaissance with George M. Johnson
Some of the most transformative art has come from queer Black artists like Langston Hughes, James Baldwin, and Josephine Baker, yet their full stories have often been erased. What can we learn from the Black queer community about creating lasting social change and embracing our identities? Today, we’re uplifting their hidden contributions to the fight for Black liberation with our guest, George M. Johnson. George is a nonbinary, award-winning author whose work lives between Blackness and Queerness. They’ve written the NYT bestselling memoir “All Boys Aren’t Blue” and most recently released “Flamboyants: The Queer Harlem Renaissance I Wish I’d Known.” To learn more about their work, visit www.iamgmjohnson.com.
