As a former freelance contributor to the New York Amsterdam News, I would like to offer my condolences to the family of Wilbert Tatum, the paper's publisher emeritus, as well as to its staff and management.
Charles Michael Smith is a freelance journalist and book reviewer in New York City. He has written for several newspapers and magazines. He is also the editor of "Fighting Words: Essays by Black Gay Men" (Avon Books, 1999); it was nominated for a Lambda Literary Award. His article about Harlem Renaissance luminary Bruce Nugent appeared in "In the Life: A Black Gay Anthology," edited by Joseph Beam (Alyson, 1986; reissued Redbone Press, 2008).
He was interviewed for a Q & A article that was published in "Mighty Real: An Anthology of African-American Same Gender Loving Writing," edited by R. Bryant Smith and Darius Omar Williams (Effusses/Sangha Publishing, 2010).
