...to Connecticut! Lisa C. Moore is part of the keynote authors panel and presenting two workshops at the True Colors XV Conference, the largest sexual and gender minority youth conference in the United States. A big thank you goes to True Colors executive director Robin McHaelen and her staff (extra thank you to Robert Price!) and volunteers for all their hard work.

It's happening this Friday and Saturday, March 14-15, 2008 at the University of Connecticut in Storrs, CT. If you're in the area, do come out; registration fees are modest, and there's a plethora of workshops for youth, college students, the general public and everybody that works with/supports sexual and gender minority youth. Hope to see you there!

Ernest Hardy will talk at St. John's University-Queens Campus in New York City (well, in Queens) on Thursday, March 6, 2008 at 3 p.m. See flyer above.

And Ana-Maurine Lara will talk with Lenelle Moise at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge on Friday, March 7 at 5 p.m. See flyer below.



Come out and support RedBone Press authors!

The panelists, Nathan Hale Williams, Gregory Ford, Lorenzo E. Sanders III, Courtney Snowden, Bishop Rainey Cheeks, Lisa C. Moore and moderator Archene Turner will discuss "Being Black and Gay in America" following a showing of the Rodney Evans film, Brother to Brother.
