James Baldwin and the Voices of Queer Resistance celebrates the 100th anniversary of the writer’s birth in 1924. The exhibition at the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery in Washington is a small but radical combination of faces and events that focus on Baldwin’s Civil Rights activities during the 1960s along with the activists he knew and shared his politics with, including Martin Luther King, Jr., gay activist Bayard Rustin, playwright Lorraine Hansberry (who was largely closeted), singer Nina Simone, poet Langston Hughes, and many others.
