Arkansas Little Rock Black Pride 2021 (AR)

Info

Little Rock Black Pride takes place from the 23rd - 25th July 2021.

Little Rock Black Pride mission is to educate, celebrate, and empower Black and Brown LGBTQ people, and qtpic through culturally specific programming and the creation of social spaces.

Beginning in 1991, with DC Black Pride, the Black Gay Pride movement began as a way to provide Black LGBTQ+ people an alternative to the largely white mainstream LGBTQ+ movement.

Black Pride is the gateway to the greater LGBT community experience for many Black LGBTQ+ people. Rather than encouraging separation, Black Prides encourage awareness of self and community, respect, dignity and many attendees of Black Pride events have returned to their homes to come out to friends, family and their communities. Attending events and seeing people who look like oneself with many of the same shared experiences, contributes to building stronger, healthier LGBT communities and is an effective way to combat homophobia and stigma in the Black community and racism in the greater LGBT community along with overcoming the cultural, communal and institutional barriers created by isms and phobias. All are welcome to attend LITTLE ROCK BLACK PRIDE Black Pride.
