This community event honors the achievements, culture, resilience, and enduring contributions of Black leaders, artists, educators, and changemakers.

The day begins at 10:00 AM at The Anchor (corner of Route 1 & Holmes Street) with a performance of the Black National Anthem (Lift Every Voice and Sing), followed by a march to Union Baptist Church for a morning program themed around expressions of freedom. Attendees can expect inspiring speakers, meaningful storytelling, and programming designed to educate, uplift, and bring the community together.
