Caribbean-American writer, radical feminist and civil rights activist Audre Lorde is remembered as the Black Feminist lesbian mother poet who thrived in exploring womanhood, years after her passing.

On February 17, 2015 The Audre Lorde Project and Gay Reunion in Our Time gathered to pay tribute to the visionary poet and activist.  

Audre Lorde’s work has gained acclamation from generations both young and old. While also receiving criticism for the elements which she poses in her work, such as social liberalism and exploration of sexuality with an emphasis on revolution and change. 

It is the acclamation of her work, that has brought together two generations that focus on the liberation of the LGBTQ Community. The younger generation poses as the energetic youth capable of carrying change and the older generation providing wisdom to pave the way. These creative difference were felt through a powerful night of poems and performances in tribute of Audre Lorde.  

Embracing creating differences in a celebration of life is exactly what has been the legacy of Audre Lorde, as she continues to inspire generations to come.
