I am retelling history by speaking about Black history through the perspective of a queer person. In my Equality class, I've interviewed two of my classmates about LGBTQ culture in the African community. Below, I wrote my own history chapter, highlighting important queer events throughout history. I've also studied the ways feminism has evolved throughout history, which inspired me to write about the ways gay culture has evolved within the black community. I enjoyed this project because I felt like I could connect with my history and learn something new about my roots.
