🖤 This was radical media.
🖤 This was cultural preservation.
🖤 This was, and still is Black joy and resistance in print.

Thanks to archival efforts like the DC Public Library's
People's Archive, we can still hold these pages in our hands today.

From policy critiques and calls to action like “Will Your Legislator Stand Up for Gay Rights?”, to community poetry, nightlife ads, and profiles of Black gay and lesbian icons, Blacklight told our stories in our language. It captured the full humanity of Black queer life in DC.
