Cherry Hill Courier-Post
While growing up in a tiny South Jersey town, Keywuan Caulk was fully aware of his sexual orientation at the age of 12 but buried those thoughts way down.
Caulk was a devout member of a Black Pentecostal church and his church life meant everything to him, so he stayed quiet and hid his sexual identity until he was 26.
The Penns Grove native is 34 now and since June has served as the director of the Rutgers Center for Social Justice Education and LGBT Communities, the first Black queer male in that role.
Caulk took the reins at the Center, which was founded in 1992, less than a month after George Floyd died when a Minneapolis police officer restrained him by putting his knee on his neck, igniting protests around the globe.
