Emerging from Chicago’s South Side drag ball culture in the 1960s, Gloria overcame traumatic violence to become a proud leader in her community. Most famously, she pioneered a charm school for young transgender people that served as inspiration for the hit play Charm. After a short intermission we will began our second feature Ma Rainey . Ma Rainey is a Black Queer Music Icon and the new Netflix docu-movie "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom" featuring Oscar winning actress Viola Davis and the late great Chadwick Boseman highlight her amazing story and influence on Jazz.
