A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for Pridesgiving! We’re so grateful for the food, the laughter, and the incredible support for our new board’s first meeting. We got a lot of planning done and we cannot wait for everyone to see what’s coming in 2025 and 2026. :)

This Juneteenth, Upper Cumberland Pride would like to encourage our followers to follow Upper Cumberland NAACP in order to learn how to be supportive of black communities. It is important, when showing support to a community, to learn from the community how they would like your support.

We've got exciting plans for improving our
website in order to better serve Upper Cumberland
Pride's LGBTQIA+ community. That does mean that our
website - ucpridetn.org -is down for the time being as
we switch hosting providers and redesign the graphics.

ASALH - The Founders of Black History Month | The Origins of Black History Month
The story of Black History Month begins in Chicago during the summer of 1915. An alumnus of the University of Chicago with many friends in the city, Carter G. Woodson traveled from Washington, D.C. to participate in a national celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of emancipation sponsored by the state of Illinois.

Black History Month is a time to honor the resilience and lasting impact of Black Americans. It’s also a month to reflect on the struggles they’ve faced and celebrate the progress made—while also acknowledging how much work still needs to be done. 1/5

To kick off Black History Month, we want to take a moment to reflect on how it all started. The Association for the Study of African American Life and History, the group that first launched what became Black History Month, has an article on its origins. 4/5
