“This wildly impressive feat of research outlines a Black, queer history of art and design, dating all the way back to the 19th century. The book also represents author and graphic designer Jon Key’s effort to situate himself in the history of American visual culture, from which Black queer contributions have too often been erased.” — James Factora
