Happy Black History!

Black is Beautiful, Gay is Good! is a photography-based exhibition that celebrates Black Gay culture, life and history by Haitian-American photographer Ocean Morisset. The title of the exhibition was culled from two slogans popularized during the tumultuous 1960’s, a time when the Civil Rights Movement exploded into the forefront of American Culture. Black is Beautiful was a phrase popularized by activist and Black Panther Stokely Carmichael. Gay is Good was inspired by Carmichael’s slogan and coined by (white) gay activist Frank Kameny during the same period.
