636. We talk to Frank Perez about the place of LGBTQ+ people in New Orleans history. “Want to learn about New Orleans’ rich
and vibrant LGBT+ history? I can help with that! It has been my
pleasure for the last several years to not only preserve and document
that history, but also to be a small part of it. I’ve written several
books and hundreds of articles on local queer history and I’m proud to
be a co-founder of the LGBT+ Archives Project of Louisiana. In
addition, I also founded and love conducting The Rainbow Fleur de Lis
Walking Tour, which is a leisurely sashay the French Quarter’s rainbow
history.” (French Quarter Frank).

633. We talk to Heidi Kim about her research into the novel, Vieux Salomon. "Set in Guadeloupe, New Orleans,
the surrounding Louisiana plantations, and briefly in other areas of the

novels in terms of perception and claims to nonfiction.
