The LGBTQ Center of Southern Nevada to Host Events for Black History Month
For Black History Month, the LGBTQ Center of Southern Nevada hosts two events on Saturday, February 5.
The National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day event from 10 am to 2 pm includes resources, music, food, and raffle prizes sponsored by Black Queer Men of Las Vegas, Minority Health Coalition, and Silver State Equality.
Later that afternoon, from 2 pm to 4 pm, the Las Vegas Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority will have an Artistic Showcase with music, art, dance, and theatre.
“We celebrate diversity every day at The Center,” says John Waldron, Ed. D, Chief Executive Officer of The Center. “And we are using Black History Month as a vehicle to change the narrative around HIV and AIDS, especially as it relates to the queer Black community.”
The Center is located at 401 S. Maryland Parkway.
