Many thanks to Miko Evans, our local Black Gay Historian for giving us firsthand history lessons on how Atlanta's Black LGBT Qummunity rose out of obscure shadows within the broader African American community to not fully integrate with its White LGBT neighbors but create an identity of its own and put the city on the national and international map as a flagpost for others of their kind. Once establishing a niche market, Evans describes the trial and triumphs of those who have attempted to build an economic infrastructure for this community on the road to self-sufficiency. Key Chapters: HIV/AIDS Prevention & Healthcare Advocacy, Olympics, ITLA and the current budding of a Neo Renaissance.
