The DC Black Pride Recognition Resolution of 2025 acknowledges the significance of DC Black Pride, the first Black Pride celebration in the world, and its contributions to the visibility and support of the Black LGBTQIA+ community. Established in 1991, DC Black Pride has grown to become a major event that not only celebrates the diversity within the African American LGBTQIA+ community but also raises awareness and funds for health disparities, education, and support for youth and families. The resolution highlights the event's historical roots, including its inspiration from the Childrens Hour celebration and the establishment of the Center for Black Equity, which has since become a vital organization for Black Pride events globally.

The resolution also commemorates the 34th annual DC Black Pride celebration, which took place from May 23 to May 26, 2025, under the theme "BLACK PRIDE IS FREEDOM." It recognizes the event's role in drawing over 500,000 attendees from around the world, fostering community, and advocating against homophobia and violence. The Council of the District of Columbia expresses its gratitude to the organizers and participants of DC Black Pride, affirming the importance of this celebration in promoting unity and awareness within the Black LGBTQIA+ community.
