DC Black Pride Recognition Resolution of 2025
This ceremonial resolution formally recognizes DC Black Pride as the world's first Black Pride event, established in 1991 to celebrate the Black LGBTQIA+ community and support HIV/AIDS organizations. It honors the event's role in founding the Center for Black Equity (formerly the International Federation of Black Prides) and inspiring over 50 global Black Pride celebrations. The resolution specifically commemorates the 34th annual DC Black Pride celebration (May 23-26, 2025), acknowledging its significance in uniting the Black LGBTQIA+ community and drawing international participants. It does not create new laws or allocate funds, serving solely as a symbolic tribute.
