Yes, Black GLBT History Exists
Filed by: Monica Roberts
February 1, 2008 10:00 AM

Editor's note: This post is part of a series celebrating Black History Month and the Black LGBT experience.

    The purpose of studying history is not to deride human action, nor to weep over it or to hate it, but to understand it-and then to learn from it as we contemplate our future.

-- Nelson Mandela

As someone who is the child and godchild of historians, I grew up with a healthy appreciation and love of my people's history. In my house every month was Black History Month, not just 28 days (29 since it's a leap year) in February.
