A must read. A powerful history on policing of queer Black identities and people in one of the United States wealthiest parts of the country today. The House of D., located in Greenwich Village, was a site of horror and abuse, but also a place of connection, found family, and radicalism for many of it it's people. Giving names to dozens of the tens of thousands of people who found themselves tortured in the high walls of the House of D., Ryan shares a 50 year story that is radical and humanizing. I can't say enough good things about this. Top 5 of the year so far for sure.
