From the 2009 F&I website:
This panel focuses on keeping black queer writing and culture alive and circulating, specifically within public libraries and archival institutions. Guided by moderator Steven G. Fullwood, founder and project director for the Black Gay & Lesbian Archive at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in New York City. Panelists Kerrie Cotton-Williams, archivist at the Auburn Avenue Research Center on African American Culture and History, Atlanta-Fulton Public Library, will speak about the library’s acquisition of the records of Zami, a black lesbian organization in Atlanta; and Reginald Harris, librarian at Enoch Pratt Free Public Library in Baltimore, talks about his experiences in fostering a more black queer friendly space at the library.
Coming from another session, I caught this panel in progress. As I set up, Kerrie Cotton-Williams is speaking.
Be sure to check the episode I did with Steven earlier this year more on his collection at the Schomberg Center. Just click here.
