Telling the story of the AIDS epidemic from the AIDS Project Los Angeles perspective, filmmaker Jeffrey Schwartz joins us again on RATED LGBT RADIO. We spoke to Jeffrey a few months ago about his gay love story film, "Boulevard". Stories of the AIDS crisis have been widely told with New York City or San Francisco as the backdrop. Jeffrey's new film Commitment to Life focuses on the emergence of AIDS Project LA,, its founders, and how it awakened Hollywood to challenge the inertia of the public in its response to AIDS. AIDS Project Los Angeles stepped into the center of the AIDS storm through a committed group of activists who helped care for the sick and dying, while at the same time lobbied those in Hollywood to contribute to the fight. APLA brought together A-list stars like Elizabeth Taylor, who used her celebrity to advocate for people with AIDS and inspired the Hollywood community to do the same.  The film covers and features  Nancy Cole, one of the founders of AIDS Project Los Angeles, one of the first women in LA to go public about having AIDS, Phill Wilson,an activist, Prop 64 which would have placed people with HIV in internment camps,  Brenda Frieberg, who when both of her sons were diagnosed with AIDS, traveled to Washington to lobby for access to drugs that could save their lives and Jewel Thais-Williams, owner of Catch One disco, who helped start the Minority AIDS Project .   With Brody Levesque

Long known as America's oldest black-owned nightclub, Jewel's Catch One opened in 1973 and was considered a radical oasis where queer people of all colors could come and be liberated. At that time, gay black women didn't own nightclubs, especially nightclubs that catered to gay black people. Over time, the bar itself took on immense fame and fortune with visits from celebrities like Sandra Bernhard, Sharon Stone, Thelma Houston, Evelyn “Champagne” King, amongst others. But what was looming as the 80s unfolded and would shake the foundation of the club and of many queer, underground bars in America: the AIDS crisis. Nevertheless, Jewel, and her Catch One, persisted, providing a safe space for people, creating and fostering a community of healing and support in the depths of darkness and pain.   As CivitasLA celebrates Pride Month 2021, join Jewel Thais-Williams, a pioneer who holds the record for the longest running Black lesbian-owned event space in the country, as we discuss the role that her iconic nightclub played in providing a strong sense of community in Los Angeles over the span of decades and its impacts on the history of gay, and Black gay life, in Los Angeles. Her persistence during many trials and tribulations resulted from her never quit attitude. When asked if she ever thought to call it quits, Jewel commented that she'd say to herself, “There's no quit to your game, Jewel. It's no accident you were put in this position to do these things.”   For more information, please visit: https://www.lamag.com/culturefiles/jewels-catch-one/ https://www.hollywoodinsider.com/jewels-catch-one-netflix-documentary-lgbtq/) https://holisticintegrativeacupuncture.org/   For more information about CivitasLA, please visit www.CivitasLA.com and we hope you'll rate and review our show; and connect with us on Facebook (@CivitasLA), Instagram (@Civitas_LA) and Twitter (@Civitas_LA).

This week we're talking about two trailblazing, barrier-breaking badass women from the bar world; Ada "Coley" Coleman of the Savoy Hotel, and Jewel Thais-Williams of Jewel's Catch One. Thank you to ABSRDST for our theme music! Find our Patreon at www.patreon.com/neatboozecast

"Jewel's Catch One," a new documentary from C. Fitz, explores the legacy of America's oldest black-owned disco club, as well as the life of businesswoman and activist Jewel Thais-Williams. For four decades, Jewel provided safe spaces in Los Angeles for the black, L.G.B.T.Q., and AIDS-impacted communities. The club closed in 2015. The film was recently acquired by Ava DuVernay's grassroots distribution company, ARRAY. Thais-Williams and Fitz join the program to discuss the film and what Jewel's nightclub meant for Los Angeles's marginalized communities at the height of the AIDS crisis.

360Karma’s Live Live Thrive Show Host Catherine Gray talks with Jewel Thais-Williams and C. Fitz about their documentary “Jewel’s Catch One,” available now on Netflix! Fitz went on an eight year journey for this documentary, researching and uncovering the rich and diverse history of Jewel Thais-Williams' legendary “safe-space” Catch One nightclub. Catch One is the oldest Black owned disco in America and establishes the legacy of businesswoman, activist, and healer, Jewel Thais-Williams, who stood up against hate and discrimination for 42 years. The story of Jewel and “The Catch” celebrates four decades of music, fashion, celebrity, and activism that helped change the course of our country by breaking down racial, social, and cultural barriers. One of the original safe spaces for both the LGBT and Black communities, The Catch also served as a refuge for many during the AIDS crisis. As her club grew to become known as the "unofficial Studio 54 of the West Coast,” Jewel became a national role model for how to fight discrimination and serve the less fortunate.

Call in 516-387-1815 The Catch was clearly in decline for many years. The club’s owner, Jewel Thais-Williams, opens the massive multiroom venue only for special events, most of which are run by promoters who have no affiliation with the black gay community. Without a stand-alone venue aimed at them, and with L.A.’s neighborhoods becoming more diverse — thus diluting black enclaves — some gay black men are fighting for their right to party. But others are wondering if, in today's more integrated culture, there's a need for black gay bars — or any gay bars targeting a particular ethnicity. As black men respond to the Catch's closure by migrating to West Hollywood as an alternative, some feel that the lily-white area offers little hope for black men looking for fun. “We have to try to make ourselves believe that we’re wanted there and that we’re supported there, when it really is not that,” says Greg Wilson, deputy director at Realistic Education in Action Coalition to Foster Health, or Reach L.A., a nonprofit that coordinates HIV services and wellness programs for LGBTQ youth of color. Reach L.A. also stages the wildly popular Ovahness Ball, an annual ballroom competition with mostly black performers. Wilson says there are “many ways” in which bars in Boystown, the gay-friendly stretch of West Hollywood, show black men they’re not welcome. “Places like the Abbey that will change the music up a certain way, or make sure that all you see in the bar are people that are identified as ‘their population,” he says. “Which is, y’know, Caucasian.” (Abbey founder and owner David Cooley responds, "The Abbey is for everyone." He stressed that Sunday nights are "a little more hip-hop," and that the bar tries to keep things broad.) .

In recognition of World Aids Day we look back at the people and films that have shaped LGBT history on the screen with writer Benjamin Law, Harvey Milk’s nephew Stuart, actress and author Magda Szubanski, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of ‘The Imitation Game’ Graham Moore, and LA nightclub pioneer Jewel Thais-Williams.
