3 Day National Black LGBT/SGL Conference Announced
Washington, DC --Nearly 1,000 African-American men, women and youth,
both gay and straight-identified are expected to gather in Baltimore, MD
April 24-26 for an historic three-day event geared towards healing and
bridging the gap between the black gay and black straight communities.
The Power of Us National Convention
<http://www.nbjcoalition.org/news/power-of-us-national.html> is being
convened by the National Black Justice Coalition (NBJC),
<http://nbjcoalition.org/> a Washington, DC based civil rights
organization.
Three powerful days will be filled with non-stop workshops and panel
discussions, and diverse entertainment completely focused upon issues
pertaining to Black lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transgenders as well
their straight-identified allies and foes alike.

Topics such as politics, healthcare, religion, media representation, and
financial literacy will be discussed during this nationally broadcast,
holistic conference. The Power of Us National Convention will bring
together a vibrant mix of people to openly discuss their community
issues, strategies and implementations in order to better the overall
African- American community.
NBJC CEO, H. Alexander Robinson explains that "Although the conference
focuses on the needs and achievements of the Black gay community, we
also recognize that our successes, community building efforts and the
solutions to our challenges cannot be done without the support of our
families, friends and allies. We welcome input, suggestions, and the
participation of our entire community regardless of race, ethnicity,
sexual orientation or gender identity."
