TLGB Black History Month 2021

The SF LGBT Center is excited to produce our Second Annual TLGB Black History Month programming, in Celebration and Memoriam of community members past and present.

To recognize some of these Folks who have shaped the LGBTQ+ landscape, we will honor one person, organization, and or event each day of February 2021. See below for the full list of honorees.

We are hosting a few events throughout the month featuring art, ballroom culture, and COVID 19 vaccine education. Click “Events” on the menu to the left for more information or scroll down.
