I can’t believe this interview was made in 1982, with Audre Lorde making the 50s become so vivid, painful and passionately alive.

Wow! What a treasure! Thank you so much for this. Audre Lorde was such an amazing person. She was important to so many people in so many ways. She was instrumental in helping to launch the afro-german movement in Germany. A street was named for her in Berlin this past year.
