September 1 @ 12:00 pm - 8:00 pm UTC+0
Atlanta Black Pride Weekend is dedicated to bringing fun, entertainment and resources to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) community.
The Birth of Atlanta Black Pride
LGBTQIA+ individuals of color encountered heightened discrimination from heterosexual people and were at times denied entry into White LGBTQIA+ owned establishments, the backyard events served as a place where Blacks could be themselves, feel safe and celebrate diversity. By 1989, the events garnered so much attention in Atlanta that various LGBTQIA+-friendly clubs offered to host their events on other nights in addition to Saturdays. In the Life Atlanta (ITLA), a nonprofit organization that focused on Black LGBTQIA+ programming and resources also partnered with the trio to further promote the events and expand awareness.
