Welcome to In Sacred Spaces, a three-part podcast miniseries that showcases a rich tapestry of spirituality, history, race, religion, gender, and sexuality. We visit sacred places of worship, community, mourning and celebration while talking with African-American religious leaders and members of New York City’s vibrant ballroom community. Join us as we learn about the decades and even centuries of antiracist, feminist, and LGBTQ+ affirming activism that have happened within these sacred spaces.
The three episodes are:
St James Presbyterian Church (with Derrick McQueen)
Grace Congregational Church of Harlem (with Nigel and Lisa Pearce)
The Pier (with The House of Louboutin)
This project was supported by Humanities NY and the Society of Fellows and Heyman Center for the Humanities at Columbia University.
