People of Color in Crisis, Inc. (POCC) welcomes you to Pride in the City 2007! I was able to attend this pride event in August 2005 as part of a Black Gay Men's Research Summitt that was taking place prior to pride and this is the most outstanding and organized pride event that gives back to the community that i have ever taking part in. My hats off to the whole POCC organization. Michael Roberson the new Executive Director who took over for Michael English. Pride in the city has been taking place since 2003 in Brooklyn, New York.
