Since 2003, The National Black Justice Collective, NBJC, has been America’s leading national civil rights organization dedicated to the empowerment of Black lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer+, and same-gender loving (LGBTQ+/SGL) people, including people living with HIV/AIDS through coalition building, federal policy change, research, and education.

On October 1st at 1:00 PM (EST), the National Black Justice Coalition will present the 4th Annual James Baldwin Legacy Awards to honor the invaluable contributions of Black men within the Black LGBTQ+/same gender loving (SGL) movement and community.

The awards show is an opportunity to honor iconic Black LGBTQ+/SGL men who have blazed trails across many fields and careers, and the ceremony will premiere live on NBJC’s website.

Seven leaders will be honored and include Tim Vincent, president and co-founder of Brothers of the Desert. Two other Coachella Valley based leaders and members of Brothers of the Desert are also among the honorees, activist Gilberto Gerald and former Mayor of Palm Springs, Ron Oden.
