The Eight Ball Club, an African American lesbian social group, was founded in 1984. The Eight Ball Club was “dedicated to the prevention of domestic violence” and the empowerment of the African American lesbian community. The club sponsored a variety of group meetings and social events for its membership network, the majority of which incorporated fundraisers benefitting African American, domestic violence, and LGBT-related organizations.
