Episode 2 - Queer Intersections in Black Culture

How did street harassment lead to New Jersey’s first prosecuted hate crime homicide? By speaking to academics, activists, and clergy members, we seek to find out if Sakia’s identity as a gender nonconforming lesbian put her at risk within her own community. This is the second episode of "After Broad and Market," a co-production of LWC Studios and Chasing the Dream, a public media initiative from The WNET Group. Chasing the Dream: Poverty and Opportunity in America is a multiplatform public media initiative from The WNET Group in New York reporting on poverty, justice, and economic opportunity, and showcasing promising solutions. The initiative's goal is to better inform using facts that go beyond personal biases, media narratives, and presumptions about the American Dream. Major funding for Chasing the Dream is provided by The JPB Foundation with additional funding from Sue and Edgar Wachenheim, III.
