On June 28, the 16th annual Harlem Pride celebration in Manhattan brought together hundreds of queer individuals and allies for a vibrant event honoring the neighborhood's legacy. Co-founder Carmen Neely highlighted the gathering as an opportunity for self-expression and unity within the LGBTQ community. Over the years, Harlem Pride has deepened connections with nonprofits and local leaders, fostering a supportive environment. Neely underscored the pride's focus on Black and Brown identities, drawing connections to the historic Harlem Renaissance, while stressing the importance of affirming resources for youth within the community.
Pride means a time when we get to express ourselves, a time when the community gets to come together. It's a time to be lighthearted, leaving the cares behind.
Harlem Pride is historical, it's cultural, it's all things Black, all things Brown, and it's a different cultural spin than larger society in New York City.
