“In 1979, what was to become PBG started as a rap group for Blacks that met regularly at the Gay Community Center, then housed in a modest building just off the artsy-craftsy South Street. […] The white man who ran the center gave the Black group increasingly smaller rooms in which to meet. […] When they gave the group a broom closet, the Blacks moved crosstown to the Friends Center; and PBG, Inc. was born.”
