Unheard Melodies: Celebrating Gay Identity in the Harlem Renaissance

By C. Williams

A love letter to the unheard. A celebration of the unstoppable.

Unheard Melodies by C.A. Williams revives the silenced voices of the Harlem Renaissance-queer Black artists who reimagined beauty, love, and resistance in a world determined to erase them.

Through lyrical storytelling, powerful profiles, and historical insight, this book honors the brilliance of figures like Langston Hughes, Ma Rainey, Gladys Bentley, and Angelina Weld Grimk .

This is not just a book. It is a resurrection. A rhythm of survival. A declaration that truth endures.

For readers of:

Black history

LGBTQ+ narratives

Queer art and culture

Harlem's revolutionary legacy
