Well, the Eagle is not a great example as historically that is a leather/bear bar and that isn't exactly a scene many blacks identify with. And I want to live my best black gay life lol And most of the black guys there (including myself) were only chatting with other black guys for the most part.ĭallas is to white gays what Atlanta is to black guys is how I see it. For example, last night I was at Dallas Eagle and out of the over 200 guys there during Dallas Pride weekend, less than 10 were black, and the music selection was very white which wasn't as much fun for us lol. And yes you will normally see all races in any popular gay establishment in Dallas but it will 95% of the time be predominately non-hispanic and white and the music very "non-black". it's just there's not enough good black gay spaces in Dallas to select from which is fustrating. To me, they are quite segregated which is fine to me (my friends and I talk about it all the time). Other than the occasional stop in the Park Cities, I've never really been to many parts of the city that have lacked diversity. I live in Central Dallas and all of my apt buildings have all been very diverse. There are conservative areas around DFW and Texas as a whole, but Dallas is a predominantly liberal place. I've never heard "let's go, it's Canadian in here" The entire 9 years I've lived in Dallas. With that said.when I moved to Dallas from Atlanta, I immediately noticed that the gay bars weren't nearly as segregated and that attitudes seemed a bit more open about the integration. There will be a lot more cultural things geared toward the AA community in the ATL than in DFW, but that doesn't mean it's not in Dallas, it's just more pronounced in Atlanta as there's a much larger overall AA population historically and a larger percentage of the population in general. We loved spending a few hours with the historian known as: Henry.Atlanta has a large scene for gay black men and I think you'll find what you're looking for. We absolutely loved the tour and your knowledge and energy is second to none. King but to see the places about his life in real time. It was a wonderful opportunity for him not to simply read about Dr. King transcends time and I so appreciate you providing my son with an opportunity to see all the places that were influential to the life of Dr. We enjoyed every moment and it was definitely money well spent. That was amazing! Henry, thanks so much for this amazing tour and taking the time to share your knowledge and love for the City of Atlanta. However, it was still a wonderful opportunity to visit all these amazing sights that are normally packed with tourists. We were not able to enter these places due to the Pandemic. King’s burial place, King’s High School, ACLU building, and Morehouse College.

In addition, he drove us to all the places we desired to visit: Ebenezer Baptist Church, Birthplace of Dr. Henry, I believe is a walking encyclopedia and he provided us with tons of information about Atlanta prior to the Civil Rights Movement, during, and even present day. In addition, this tour is perfect to take during the Covid19 Pandemic because it takes you to places in a private car with only your group and not to mention the ride is so comfortable. Martin Luther King Jr., comfortable transportation, and so much more. My initial reason was simply to have transfers to each place that I desire to visit however, once I met our guide Henry I received far more than I bargain for.an informative tour guide, professionalism, vast knowledge regarding the history of Sweet Auburn Street, Dr. I decided on purchasing a tour for the African American Culture Tour by Luxury car. I didn’t plan on renting a car and thus, I searched for a tour that might accommodate our needs. and many of the historical sites around Atlanta that pay homage to a man who had a dream of equality for all. One of my main reasons for visiting Atlanta was to bring my son to see the birth home of Dr.
