African American Studies and the Invisible Black Gay Man

Truth telling is not simple. It is not like the Norman Rockwell painting in which a ruggedly handsome white man speaks to the town meeting at his white clapboard church, while other white men, wearing ties, listen in admiration. Truth telling isn't like that. Truth's speakers don't often radiate handsome honesty. They are disconcerting and diverse rather than comfortably familiar.
