Black Pride St. Louis was founded in 1995 by a group of passionate individuals who recognized the need for a dedicated space to celebrate Black LGBTQ+ identities. Since then, we have grown into a thriving community organization, hosting annual events, educational programs, and advocacy initiatives that uplift and support our members. Our annual Black Pride Celebration has become a cornerstone event, bringing together people from all walks of life to celebrate diversity, culture, and community.
