Celebrating Black LGBTQ History. Black History Is Expansive. Beautifully Queer.

2.23.2026 #TheOtherSideOfChange: Celebrating Black LGBTQ History. Black History Is Expansive. Beautifully Queer. In this episode of The Other Side of Change, Jamira Burley and Brea Baker begin by honoring the life and legacy of Rev. Jesse Jackson, reflecting on his role in civil rights leadership and multiracial organizing while also addressing the political attacks that attempt to distort or erase that legacy. They examine efforts to whitewash slavery history, including a court order requiring the restoration of a slavery exhibit in Philadelphia, and discuss broader cultural and political moments shaping the week. The conversation then centers on Black History Month and the necessity of celebrating Black LGBTQ history as essential, not optional. Dr. David Johns, Executive Director of the National Black Justice Collective and former White House advisor, joins the show to unpack the intentional erasure of Black queer history, the political targeting of LGBTQ communities, and why reclaiming African ways of being is part of Black liberation work today.
