Gladys Bentley – A 20th Century Pioneer

June 9, 2022 by Erica Hauck

Gladys Bentley on Wikipedia

Let’s celebrate Gladys Bentley, an early 20th century LGBTQ pioneer. She first appeared in 1920 in Harlem. She eventually moved to Hollywood and passed in 1960.
To learn more about Gladys Bentley, follow the links below.


Start with this video shared from YouTube. Looks like a Pride party to me! You will find more videos in the links below. The “Drag King” video in the American Masters link is one you’ll not want to miss.
