This program is the second of a two part series addressing the topic of "men on the down low". It will seek to answer these questions: What is your perception/stereotype of men? How about men on the down low? What are the truths that underlie the myths of the brother on down low? Is there a correlation between down low men and HIV/AIDS? The Discussion will be lead by J.L. King, Author of “On the Down Low: A Journey into the Lives of 'Straight' Black Men Who Sleep with Men.” Also featuring a performance by Poet and Activist ButtaFlySoul from Russell Simmons’s HBO series, Def Poetry.

"Down Low" (DL) defined: men who traditionally identify as "straight" while having sex with other men—refusing to employ the standardized descriptors of sexual identity.
