"In the Shadow of Sexuality: LGBT African American Elders and Social Support"
Dr. Mignon Moore (Sociology, UCLA)
Moore will discuss her work on the physical and mental health of lesbian and gay elders in New York and Los Angeles as they are affected by sexual identity, social support, community institutions, and medical care. She also examines the experiences of Black LGBT people as they entered into gay sexuality prior to and throughout the 1960s and '70s as well as their current experiences with their racial communities as they age.
