About this listen
Omar Little, as played by Michael K Williams in the HBO series "The Wire," was a modern day Rpbin HOod: he was a shotgun toting stick up man who robbed drug dealers. He had a code. And he was gay. Screenwriter Kirk Moore joins Black Queer Cannon to talk all things Omar: the representation he provided, his tragic death scene and the backlash that came from the portrayal.
Black Queer Canon is a production of Slayzhon. It is created, hosted and executive produced by Mikelle Street and Tre’vell Anderson. Chris Rodgers is our associate producer and editor. Our theme is the track “Soul” by Neverending Nina. The project is supported by Critical Minded, an initiative to invest in cultural critics of color cofounded by The Nathan Cummings Foundation and the Ford Foundation.
