    In a staged reading based on his book Sweet Tea, performance artist and author E. Patrick Johnson gives voice to a group that has been politely concealed: gay, black men born, raised, and living in the South. The narratives he brings to life are based on interviews with men of different generations, showing how they navigate “good old” southern customs to legitimate themselves as members of southern and black cultures. E. Patrick Johnson is Chair of Performance Studies and Professor of African American Studies at Northwestern University. He has published widely in the areas of race, class, gender, and performance. His 2003 book, Appropriating Blackness: Performance and the Politics of Authenticity, won several awards. Sponsored by Harmelin Media.
