Homosexuality was either black or white, bad or good; the dichotomy made me feel like I was in the right. My mother taught me to be a good Catholic girl who would marry a lawyer, and possibly have three boys named after various saints. That wasn't what…

Harlem was and still is the city with the most concentrated population of black people. The 1930s was not as prosperous as the roaring 20s. The Great Depression hit the nation, but in particular, the already poorly funded black community…

labeling theory, but it comes from Goffman who explains stigma as an attribute that causes society to have a lower perception of a person (Boundaries 76).
