George M. Johnson's newly released book, 'Flamboyants: The Queer Harlem Renaissance I Wish I’d Known', highlights the often-overlooked narratives of Black queer figures from the 1920s, blending essays and poetry to explore their complex identities. Johnson, a prominent Black non-binary writer, discusses the significance of uncovering these hidden histories in a conversation with host Ali Muldrow. Meanwhile, an op-ed addresses the alarming violence within the Black community, noting a stark contrast in societal reactions to Black-on-Black crime compared to police violence against Black individuals, emphasizing a need for serious solutions. In another cultural commentary, Dawn Butler's spoken verse for Black History Month is critiqued for its unclear message, as she confronts racism while asserting her identity linked to African heritage. Lastly, historian Dr. Jock Phillips revisits the legacy of the All Black team, known as 'The Invincibles', reflecting on its historical impact a century later.
