QUOTATIONS OF "BLACK"

"Whenever I use BLACK it relates to some history of Africans in that particular place. It’s the idea of the color BLACK as a metaphor, or as a representation of African-Americans. It’s the notion of BLACK- BLACKNESS - and all its other meanings in relation to the history of race..."

About Harlem Pride...

Our Mission

The mission of Harlem Pride is to promote Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Same Gender Loving pride in Harlem and to provide opportunities for networking and communication among its LGBT & SGL organizations and community members.

Our Scope & Vision
The scope and vision of Harlem Pride is that it will be an annual festival event held in the "Harlem Gayborhood". The inaugural event of Harlem Pride 2010, will be the quintessential block party on W. 119th street between Lenox and Fifth Avenues. Each year we expect the event to expand and become the essential vehicle for Harlem residents to celebrate their LGBT & SGL communities and pride.
