Solange Knowles dropped A Seat at the Table on Friday, inviting fans to take a seat with one of the most famed musical families as they discuss their thoughts on racial relations in America. Even in its quietest moments it contains multitudes: It features conversations with her mother and father, Tina Beyincé-Lawson and Mathew Knowles, mogul talk with Master P and playful harmonies about black girl magic from Nia Andrews & Kelly Rowland.

It feels like a breakout moment for the star. Perhaps, for the first time in hercareer, her release has generated a level of excitement among critics and fans on par with that her older sister, Beyoncé usually receives. Solange is very much her own identity, however. She’s long worked to cultivate a diverse career rooted in New Orleans with jazz, modern R&B and old school influences into a sound which separates from her older sister’s commercially accessible sound and brand. And she’s been doing it longer than you know.

Hidden in the Open: A Photographic Essay of 140-Years of Black Male Couples

Historian Trent Kelly has collected 146 rare vintage photographs of black male couples from the past 150 years.

Although the large majority of the pictures depict gay couples, the collection also includes images of families and friends but they all have one thing in common: they capture images of love.

Below is a snippet of why Kelly started the collection along with a few photos from his archive.

“Historically, the Afro American gay male and couple has largely been defined by everyone but themselves. Afro American gay men are ignored into nonexistence in parts of black culture and are basically second class citizens in gay culture. The black church which has historically played a fundamental role in protesting against civil injustices toward its parishioners has been want to deny its gay members their right to live a life free and open without prejudice. Despite public projections of a “rainbow” community living together in harmonious co-habitation, openly active and passive prejudices exist in the larger gay community against gay Afro Americans.”
