"En 1982, l’écrivain afro-américain #JamesBaldwin (1924-1987) s’entretenait avec deux journalistes de la revue #GaiPied et abordait les problèmes de domination aux #ÉtatsUnis des Blancs sur les Noirs, la place de l’#homosexualité dans sa vie, le rôle utile ou dangereux des #ghettos et de son écriture. Une interview courte mais significative des combats de cette figure importante des mouvements de libération homosexuelle et des Noirs Américains." #racisme
