Winston Johnson helped build a vital alliance between the LGBTQ and civil rights movements through his friendship with Coretta Scott King. He’s being remembered for that work and more in the wake of his death last month at 79.
The longtime gay Atlanta resident and LGBTQ activist lost a long battle with cancer. Friends and family will gather for a memorial service in July.
Johnson was a driving force in getting white gay men in Atlanta to “get off their chairs and make a political statement,” according to longtime friend Terry Bird.
Good Times and Quiet Moments in Kent County, Delaware
The sound of slot machines competes with the excited cries of winners sitting at the nearby gambling tables. Meanwhile, silence reigns at farms where horses rather than tractors pull plows. Welcome to Kent County, Delaware.
Dover, the state capital, retains the charm that William Penn envisioned when he laid it out in 1683. The graceful Dover Green surrounds the inviting public square. This is where a Continental regiment was mustered during the American Revolution, and where townspeople gathered in 1776 to hear the newly penned Constitution of Delaware read.
The First State Heritage Park encompasses The Green and links a number of important sites. Guided walking tours focus on stories of The Green, Revolutionary War heroes, and tales of slavery and freedom.
