The Glades Project (Re-Enactment filming Behind the Scenes) from Connie M. Florez on Vimeo.
Many years ago. . .
On Honolulu's famous Hotel Street
their was a place where
the boys were prettier than the girls.
That place was The Glades.
Drag performers all wore a button
by Honolulu law
that read: "I am a boy."
Black Men in America
were carrying signs that said:
"I Am A Man."
Those were some times!
Today, my friend Connie
is making a film. . .
about a time. . .
about special people. . .
Survivors-

Thank YOU
for being Yourself!
fondly, cloudia
