As we continue our month-long celebration of 40 years of TVPS, Sarah and Jess are joined by someone who’s made history and written it, Les K. Wright! A trailblazing queer historian, writer, photographer, and fierce AIDS activist, Les has spent decades capturing the stories, struggles, and spirit of our community.

Since hanging up his chalk as a professor of English and German, Les has devoted himself full-time to preserving queer history and amplifying voices that too often go unheard. Les talks to us about The Children of Lazarus: Voices Out of the HIV/AIDS Epidemic, a powerful and moving anthology that gives voice to the lived experiences of those affected by HIV and AIDS, documenting survival, grief, resistance, and love.
