Note
  1. The collection consists of one audio recording and two video recordings relating to the activities of Other Countries dating from 1986 to 1997.
  2. Other Countries is a not-for-profit organization formed by a collective of black gay male writers organized with the purpose to develop, promote, and cultivate literary, cultural, and social endeavors and pursuits relevant to the experience of black gay men. These goals are achieved through publishing, live performances, guided writing and educational workshops, and outreach to underserved communities. The collective was founded in New York City by Daniel Garrett, growing out of a weekly writing workshop for black gay men that met at the Lesbian and Gay Community Center in Greenwich Village, in 1986. The name of the group was inspired by the works of James Baldwin. The collective is also known as "Other Countries: Black Gay Expression."
