While we are still having to deal with this Dave Chappelle mess, let's amplify the voices of black people who have truly done positive things for both the LGBTQ and Black communities. This two-part special about Black LGBTQ Pioneers came out in February, but it is still remains pertinent viewing.
. . . Phillip Alexander Downie commemorates the Black LGBTQ pioneers who have exceeded the expectations placed upon them, and surmounted hurdles some called ‘impossible’ to overcome. In this two-part special we celebrate the remarkable people that have changed our path in history, and made the world a better place. Fighting for a voice in their time that sent cultural and artistic shockwaves, and inspiring the voices of the next generation with their actions and ideas—they have fought not to garner acclaim, but to promote love and equality.
