LOUISIANA, USA – A gathering of the Universal Negro Nationalist Association (UNNA) in Louisiana was disrupted this weekend following the removal of exiled Ugandan LGBTQ+ activist Keem Love Black from the event premises.
According to eyewitness accounts and preliminary reports, the incident began when convention organizers approached Love Black and asked her to leave. The request reportedly escalated into a heated verbal exchange after the activist objected to the removal.
Sources indicate that Love Black’s attire and demeanor were cited as factors that made some attendees uncomfortable, leading organizers to take action. The situation culminated in Love Black being escorted out of the venue. Following her removal, she was seen engaging in a loud confrontation with event staff outside the building.
Keem Love Black, who is known for her vibrant social media presence and advocacy for LGBTQ+ rights, often shares content that challenges conservative norms. The UNNA convention, a long-standing organization focused on Black nationalist and Pan-Africanist issues, typically attracts a more traditional audience.
Attempts to reach UNNA organizers for an official statement on the reasons for the removal were unsuccessful at the time of publication. In posts on her social media channels, Love Black condemned the action, calling it discriminatory and an affront to her identity.
The incident has sparked a conversation online about the intersection of cultural conservatism, expression, and LGBTQ+ inclusion within certain community spaces.
