National Lesbian and Gay Task Force (NLGTF) Executive Director Matt Foreman will be one of the special guests at a Dec. 4 forum at Center on Halsted, 3656 N. Halsted, that will focus on Black LGBT youths.
Cathy Cohen, Ph. D., a principal researcher with the Black Youth Project (BYP), is also slated to be part of the event, which will take place at 5:30 p.m. in the Center’s Hoover-Leppen Theatre.
