On this show, Keith Brand, Professor and Chair of the Radio, Television & Film Department at Rowan University, presents to WBAI listeners an audio documentary on the life of radical queer activist and intellectual Kiyoshi Kuromiya, which aired on WPPM/Philadelphia on World AIDS Day 2021. Kuromiya’s activism was a lifelong endeavor which started for him as a newborn in a U.S. government internment camp for Japanese-Americans during World War II. That experience informed his life and as a result he saw, deeply felt, and resisted the repression of Jim Crow America, and after he came out, the homophobia of straight America. He devoted his life to fundamental social change. When the first picket for homosexual rights happened in Philadelphia in 1964, he was there. When the Black Panthers expressed support for Gay Liberation in 1970, he was there. He was also there when AIDS swept the country and world, as a person living with HIV/AIDS. He spent his life agitating, educating and organizing. Tune in for a remarkable documentary on this tremendous organizer. 

Thanks to Keith for this excellent production and his generous permission to us to replay it. This is the latest installment of our "Queerly Defiant" series.
