Kevin's Room: Together further explores issues from the first two films, while addressing concerns from today's headlines - violence, sexually, spirituality.

Woven throughout the story are behind the scenes interviews with the characters offering insights into the motivations, into the reactions, into the conflicts uncovered in this momentous final episode. About the "We Are Here"™ exhibit: "We Are Here: African-American Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Images, "™ an exhibit of photographs by Richard Lee Gray, is on display at Woodson Regional Library, 9525 S. Halsted Street, from February 22 through April 30, 2008. "The idea for ‘We Are Here’ came when I saw the ‘Just Married’ exhibit at Hull House in Chicago, which featured photographs of same-gender-loving people being married in San Francisco," said Richard Lee Gray. "A number of Black people commented that they saw few Black gay people in that exhibit and those they saw were with white partners. As a photographer of African-American descent who is same-gender-loving, I felt the need to respond. ‘We Are Here’ is a result of my commitment to highlight images of African-American same-gender-loving people. It is a naming project meant to put a face on the diversity within the larger Black community." "This is an expanding exhibit," added Gray, "and additional portraits have been added for this display. Eventually ‘We Are Here’ will include a larger collection of images, videos, art, and voices of African-American same-gender-loving and transgender people and their families." The "We Are Here"™ project is co-sponsored by the Chicago Commission on Human Relations’ Advisory Council on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Issues. Woodson Regional Library contains the Vivian G. Harsh Research Collection of Afro-American History and Literature, the second largest collection of its kind in the Midwest. The "We Are Here"™ exhibit is its first LGBT exhibit.
