Really glad to see this


A READING OF WORKS BY GAY BLACK MEN FROM THE 1980S AND ’90S SUNDAY, APRIL 14, 2013 2 PM @ THE WHITNEY MUSEUM FILM AND VIDEO GALLERY For “in the life,”* artist and writer Gregg Bordowitz will host readings from the literary work of gay, male, African American poets and writers, who chronicled sexuality, illness, and death during the height of theAIDS crisis in the 1980s and ’90s. Many of the writers are now dead...   More. 

I was just thinking about Joseph Beam, Marlon Riggs, Essex Hemphill and this whole movement of stories, poetry, performance, film, etc.  And how it faded with the deaths of key figures.  Thankfully others remember too.
