- Black gay prides started because the community did not see themselves fairly represented during the ‘mainstream’ pride celebrations
- D.C. Pride is considered the first of the black LGBT prides
- Atlanta Black Pride was started in 1996
- Atlanta Black Pride started as a picnic and has grown to be the largest black pride in the country
- Black Gay Prides give a voice to specific issues unique to the black LGBTQ community
- Earlier this year, Atlanta Black Pride launched a campaign under the hashtag #ReclaimingATLBlackPride
- The hashtag speaks to their goals to educate, empower, and celebrate the black LBGT community.
