Included is a look at the legacy of Bayard Rustin, a gay man who helped organize the 1963 March on Washington. Also, a profile of Reverend Irene Monroe of the Harvard Divinity School, who is an outspoken critic of black churches and the Nation of Islam for their treatment of gays and women; an interview with Randall Kenan, author of a James Baldwin biography; the fight against AIDS in the African American community; and a profile of Ruth Ellis, who lived most of her 101 years out of the closet.
