The 18th Annual Black New England ConferenceA Virtual/Hybrid Conference
The intersectionality of race, gender, and sexual orientation has been historically intertwined, reflecting the complex dynamics of power, privilege, and oppression within society. Throughout history, marginalized communities have faced multiple forms of discrimination and marginalization, exacerbating the struggle for recognition, equality, and justice.
From the civil rights movement to voting rights to the LGBTQ+ rights movement, individuals at the intersections of race, gender, and sexual orientation have played pivotal roles in challenging oppressive systems and advocating for social change. Individuals who navigate multiple marginalized identities continue to influence contemporary experiences through the arts, culture, and activism.
The 18th Annual Black New England Conference will highlight the history of Black LGBTQ trailblazers and their contributions to American history, explore evolving cultural norms, gender roles and presentation, depiction in popular culture, and emerging movements, and offer a forward-looking perspective, envisioning potential future trends and possibilities for greater inclusivity, equity, and social change. We celebrate success stories of individuals and institutions that serve as beacons of hope for current generations to live out their identities authentically.
