The Charlotte Black Pride Celebration was started in 2005 to celebrate and recognize diversity within the Charlotte LGBT Community. The Mr/Miss Charlotte Black Pride Pageant System was also created in 2005, by D-Man Productions, in conjunction with the Pride Celebration. D-Man promoted the Pageant from 2005-2009. Quandrico Rutledge Wade revived the pageant in 2013 and has remained the Promoter since then. The Sweetheart Division was added in 2015.
