Reading - For Colored Boys at West Hollywood Library - Part 3
Victor Yates, Antonio Brown, Jonathan Kidd, and Jorge Ortiz read from the anthology "For Colored Boys" on December 8, 2012. The anthology, aimed at young adults, discusses suicide, sexuality, homophobia, religion, and coming out for queer people of color. Contributors to the work include: James Earl Hardy, award-winning writer of the B-Boy Blues Series, Emanuel Xavier, poet, whose third book was selected by the American Library Association as one of their Over The Rainbow books, David J. Malebranche, Associate Professor of Medicine at Emory University #39;s School of Medicine, Rod McCullom, writer/producer for ABC News and New York City #39;s ABC 7, Ron Simmons, field producer on Tongues Untied (1989), the controversial documentary film that aired on PBS, and Jessica Wild, star of Rupaul #39;s Drag Race Season Two and many others. The project came about as a response to the suicides of Carl Joseph Walker-Hoover, Jaheem Herrera, Raymond Chase, Joseph Jefferson and Tyler Clementi, the 18-year-old college student who jumped to his death in September 2010, whose death sparked the "It Gets Better" project.From:Victor YatesViews:0 0ratingsTime:16:30More inEntertainment
