Elder summit for black LGBTs this weekend

DETROIT-
KICK, the agency for black LGBTs in Detroit, is sponsoring an elder summit to address problems in the community and to highlight activists and resources. "We feel that they are the forgotten community. Everything is so youth-oriented," said Walter Houston, co-chair for the event. "We want to talk about the issues and concerns, and also pay homage to some of the achievements of mature men and women in the black gay community."
Speakers and panelists will also discuss laws, crimes and health care.
The summit is free to attend and takes place at the Liberal Arts Gallery, 3361 Gratiot, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and from 2-6 p.m. on Sunday.
