How much do you know about Josephine Baker? Langston Hughes? Barbara Jordan? Maybe you've never
heard of Gladys Bently or Bill T. Jones.
In recognition of African American History Month,
PlanetOut would like to take time to remember a few people whose talent, perseverance, and courage
should be an inspiration to us all. Some of them lived out, proud lives. Others never came out of
the closet. But all of them, in their own way, are heroes.
