People of Color in Crisis sponsored a weekend of celebrations in the African-American gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community with Pride In the City, four days of events that ranged from a summit by the Black Gay Research Group at the Marriott Hotel in downtown Brooklyn, to an evening of poets, author and visual artists reading from or showing their work, to a picnic in Fort Greene’s Commodore Barry Park and a beach day at Jacob Riis Park in the Rockaways. At the beach on Sunday, Martha Wash, performs for a huge crowd, including one lesbian couple who perfectly captured the mood of celebration and pride at right.
