The best events come from grassroots organizing, quite literally, in this case for Atlanta Black Pride (ABP). Starting in the ‘80s, young, Black queer friend groups would hold picnics during Labor Day Weekend to celebrate “their unique experience in Atlanta’s LGBT community.” Every year, the picnics grew with new friends and partners across Atlanta’s parks and backyards, until it evolved into the annual Atlanta Black Pride, Inc. founded by their sponsor In the Life Atlanta (ITLA). The intent was to “formalize, smaller disparate events” under one banner. Now, Black queer folks come to Atlanta Black Pride every Labor Day Weekend from around the world to celebrate its legacy spanning more than four decades. The event now includes a variety of programming, from educational forums about STI testing and awareness, to erotic poetry nights, film screenings, block parties, and fashion shows – all designed to celebrate the richness of Black queer culture and community.
