1000 BLACK LGBT PEOPLE MARCHING AND CELEBRATING THE KINGS DAY.

Saturday, January 19, 2013, a coalition of nearly 50 Black Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender and Same Gender Loving community organizations, individuals, families and allies in Southern California will gather to participate in the MLK Kingdom Day Parade to honor the work of Dr. King and celebrate the significant contributions made by members of the community to his legacy as a whole.

The community selected three historic figures known for their dedicated years of community activism to be the front-liners for this event. Their issues and concerns range from HIV/AIDS, marriage equality, the rights of LGBT people and movements that support equality for transgender people.

These figures include Jewel Thais-Williams, outspoken activist and proprietor of the famous Catch One Nightclub and founder of the celebrated, Village Health Foundation; the world-renowned Archbishop Carl Bean, co-founder of the Unity Fellowship Church movement with numerous branches across the country; Sir Lady Java, human rights crusader, who was featured in Jet Magazine for a historic protest against the famed Red Foxx Nightclub which discriminated against female impersonators, as well as Toni Bradley, daughter of late Los Angeles Mayor, Tom Bradley.
