 Tonight's 2nd Chance Screening of the Black Power Mixtape is canceled. 

 

We encourage all members of the IC to support the following event.

February 2nd -Out of the Closet and Onto the Screen Film Series screening: "We Came to Sweat" Textor 103, 7PM (Sponsored by the Center for LGBT Education, Outreach & Services.)

Founded by an African-American for his gay community in 1962, the Starlite Lounge became a legendary pre-Stonewall safe-haven by catering to multiple generations of every race, creed, color and sexual orientation. When the survival of this Brooklyn-based black-owned LGBTQ institution came under threat nearly fifty years later, a passionate community mobilized. For patrons, the Starlite represents a family, a legacy, a safe haven, and a living history of the LGBTQ community. The document of their movement explores the matrix of gay visibility, race and economics in America.
