Sikivu Hutchinson on “Humanists in the Hood”: May 31st Book Talk and Music
On Saturday February 18th, WLP and Black Skeptics will co-host a virtual Black History month BIPOC Feminist book club focusing on George M. Johnson’s book All Boys Aren’t Blue. From Wikipedia: Johnson was motivated to write the book by Toni Morrison, whose maxim “If there’s a book you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it,” which Johnson has tattooed on their right arm. The “blue” in the title carries several meanings, being the color of masculinity and the color of police officers, who have disproportionately invoked violence against queer Black people. The title also pays homage to the character Blue from Queen Sugar, as well as the appearance of Black skin in Moonlight and the play it is based upon, In Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue
