In recognition of Pride Month, The National Center for Civil and Human Rights’ LGBTQ+ Institute is partnering with Doug Jones, author of the novel “The Fantasies of Future Things,” for an engaging conversation on the intersections of race, sexuality, and housing inequality. Reminiscent of Barry Jenkins’s Moonlight, Jones’ book is set in 1996 and follows two men in Atlanta who must reconcile their human dignity against the price of their professional ambitions. 

This Cup of Truth will feature an interview with the author, a discussion on gentrification and housing discrimination, and a Q&A session open to the audience. Coffee and other beverages will be provided on site by BE Cafe. This program, made possible by the LGBTQ+ Institute’s Bayard Rustin Society, is free and open to the public.

Event Location: The ArtsXchange, 2148 Newnan Street, East Point, GA 30344
