Enjoy this wonderful video of our very special LIVE & in-person event as we welcomed to our new BRCSJ HQ the Gay Indiana Jones Hugh Ryan in honor of his new book, the best-sellin' & rave-reviewed "THE WOMEN'S HOUSE OF DETENTION: A QUEER HISTORY OF A FORGOTTEN PRISON" Bold Type Books
Our favorite queer historian's first extraordinary book "When Brooklyn Was Queer" was lauded by the Times as a “boisterous, motley new history & entertaining & insightful chronicle” & now his second is a fascinatin' history of a now-demolished prison & the women, transgender men, & gender nonconforming people who were held there~ including Ethel Rosenberg, Angela Davis, & Andrea Dworkin~ & a window into the policing of queerness & radical politics in the 20th century...
Join Hugh & our own BRCSJ Chief Activist Robt Seda-Schreiber in virtual community-buildin' conversation equally empowerin' & entertainin'
If you enjoy the Power Hour & believe in the mission & vision of the Bayard Rustin Center for Social Justice
