#SaturdaySchool: Shameless Sex and Gender

Many of us grew up being shamed for the way we were exploring our sexuality or gender as children.  It continues regularly for adults too.

By: Joseph Middleton Cassietta George (seen at right) was a gem of the Golden Gospel Era. From her days in the early 1950s with the Songbirds of the South, until becoming one of the longest tenured Caravans, there's no doubt she reserved herself a great place amongst the top gospel singers in the history books. Unfortunately, her nephew's recent actions to honor her name … [Read more...] about Lerone Baker Pursues Misguided Deification of Cassietta George
