ABOUT GEORGIA DUSK
Georgia Dusk is an intergenerational counter-narrative to the mainstream depiction of Georgia politics and the southern liberation movement. As experts of our own stories, we document grassroots movements led by Black queer and feminist people and reclaim the historical representation of liberation movements throughout Georgia.

WE DO TAKE DONATIONS
To quote the Combahee River Collective, “We believe that the most profound and potentially most radical politics come directly out of our own identity…” As Queer, Black, Southerners we will fulfill our goals as conveners, organizers, and memory workers by trusting that marginalized people are the experts of their own histories.
