Come One, Come All!  The NBGLLF Announces Conference Highlights

The National Black Gay and Lesbian Leadership Forum (NBGLLF) cordially
invites you to its annual national conference, February 15 thru 18, 1996.
   This year, the conference theme, Black Gays and Lesbian: Continuing our
Struggle both gives praise to what we have accomplished, and reminds us that
our work is not yet complete.  The conference will be held deep in the heart
of Texas, in Dallas, at the Harvey Hotel Brookhollow, 7050 N. Stemmons, (214)
630-8500.  

What’s Planned:
The conference begins Thursday evening, February 15, 1996, with an AIDS
memorial service, to remember the many friends and family we have lost to the
disease.  Friday, February 16, 1996, there will be an all day AIDS/Health
institutes.  Also on Friday is the opening ceremony, which will include
introduction of the new national board of directors, and a cultural
celebration sponsored by the local host organization, UJIMA.

On Saturday and Sunday February 17 thru 18th, there will be topics related to
womyn’s and men’s issues, grassroots activism, spirituality, young adult
issues, leadership and public policy.  Highlights of the conference include
the Annual Award Banquet and Dance on Saturday.

Invited guest include Harvard Professor Cornel West, former Texas
Congresswoman Barbara Jordan, and the current Dallas U.S. Representative
Eddie Bernice Johnson.

The NBGLLF is excited about this conference for many reasons.  This will be
the first conference in the state of Texas.  This will also be the first
conference following installation of a new national board of directors and an
executive director.

Continuing the theme of firsts, there will be two very special presenters.
 Drs. Sylvia Rhue and Dee Mosbacher will screen their new film, “All God’s
Children,” a documentary response to the radical rights’ homophobic efforts
in Black Churches.  Additionally, best-selling author E. Lynn Harris will
give the first reading anywhere of his new book, And This Too Shall Pass.
