DC Black Pride, founded in 1991, is a historic and influential event that celebrates the Black LGBTQIA community in Washington, DC. It was the first Black Gay and Lesbian Pride event and has since become the catalyst for the global Black Pride Movement, with over 50 other Black Pride celebrations worldwide using it as a model.
With a focus on raising awareness and funds for HIV/AIDS organizations, DC Black Pride brings together over 500,000 members of the African descent LGBTQIA community and their allies annually on Memorial Day weekend. It continues to inspire a movement and serves as a platform to educate the community about HIV/AIDS and combat homophobia-inspired violence and bigotry.
