Produktbeschreibung
Adam in the Morning is about men and women who fought in the Stonewall riots in June and early July, 1969. They ask each other, "What's happening here?" They talk politics, they throw bricks and molotov cocktails at the cops, they get bloodied, and they read The Wretched of the Earth by Franz Fanon. They have sex. They lose their fear and understand their world has profoundly changed. They discuss big issues: What can we do to change our world? Am I strong enough? Are there enough of us? They are ready for the Revolution. Bo, the carpenter, thinks of starting a home for the street kids but also something even more dramatic, and Andrew, his partner, is starting a newspaper. Joseph, the actor, has fallen in love but can fight better than any of the rest of them. One of them says after the last night's riot, "It's as if we've got more space in the city." They are committed to their cause, to each other, to all of people on the street, and their eyes look to the future.
