In 2000, the Latinx History Project, formerly known as the Latino GLBT History Project, was founded to collect, preserve, and share Latinx LQBTQ history. Since its inception, it has served as a force that builds community, spreads compassion and fights for equity within and for the Latinx LGBTQ community.
The Latinx History Project now celebrates over twenty years of meaningful service to the Latinx LGBTQ community, and a major milestone as it launches new Latinx Education Workshops with a Digital Resource-hub. We continue to be a pillar for our community in D.C. as the organization that hosts all DC Latinx Pride events and festivities during pride month as well as various other gatherings and events throughout the year. Since the Covid-19 Pandemic disproportionately impacted our community, our organization also stepped up in the last three years to raise funding for and to build unity amongst grassroots Latinx LGBTQ organizations spanning the continental United States and various Latin American countries as our third program area.
