I would recommend to anyone in this community

I find this book interesting because it revealed the truth about many African American writers. The list of gay authors extends back into the 19th century. Most gay authors kept their sexuality a secret particularly in the early decades of the 20th century because of the predjudices against openly gay people. I do not personally judge writers concerning their sexuality but the content of their material. Gay people should read this book.

This book is informative and a excellent history book. I recommend this book for anyone who is insterested in learning about the rich black gay history.
