About Black History Love Letters 2.0!
Black History Love Letters 2.0 returns as a soulful celebration where leaders, artists, poets, musicians, and community creatives pay heartfelt tribute to the Black historical figures who have shaped their lives. Through their own love letters, poems, songs, and expressive works, participants illuminate the courage, brilliance, humor, resilience, and transformative impact of Black lives and legacies. Hosted by Tim’m T. West, Executive Director of the LGBTQ Institute, this inspired gathering invites community members to join us on Valentine’s Day during Black History Month for an afternoon of storytelling, artistic homage, and collective reflection on the ancestors, visionaries, and cultural pioneers who continue to guide us. Together, we celebrate love as history, history as love, and the power of creative expression to connect past and present.

The LGBTQ Institute is an integral part of The Center’s global civil and human rights platform, and provides a steady spotlight that helps create a public imperative for policies that treat LGBTQ people equally and fairly, in the South and around the world. The LGBTQ Institute at the National Center for Civil and Human Rights mobilizes LGBTQ communities by partnering with institutions and leaders to collectively build power through advocacy and education, with an emphasis on the U.S. South. The LGBTQ+ Institute at the National Center for Civil and Human Rights cultivates the next generation of advocates by engaging our most dynamic and diverse community leaders and organizations committed to human dignity. We do this by connecting LGBTQ+ history to our present advocacy, and by facilitating educational initiatives, social programming, and civic engagement with a particular focus on the U.S. South.
