Gay Black Artist and Author – Willie Little

As a gay Black artist and author who grew up in rural North Carolina on his family’s farm, a child who was among the first in his hometown to go to a formerly all-white school, Willie determined early on that he wanted more than life on the farm. His artwork and memoir tell of his struggle for acceptance in the rural south. Today, through his artwork and stories from his memoir, he provides us with a unique perspective that celebrates his childhood memories and challenges us on issues of race and society today.
