The Black August Experience
Honor the Past. Understand the Present. Build the Future.
Join EOBA and Youth ALIVE! on Thursday, August 21, from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. for the Black August Experience: Past, Present, and Future.
This dynamic, youth-centered event honors the past, explores the present, and helps build the future through interactive experiences focused on Black history, civic engagement, financial literacy, entrepreneurship, wellness, and culture.
Our goal is for every participant to leave with something meaningful—whether it's new knowledge, a practical skill, a valuable resource, or a new perspective.
Why Black August Matters
Black August is rooted in education, self-determination, and understanding the struggles that have shaped our communities. Through discussions on history, civic engagement, and voting rights, participants will explore how informed and engaged communities can help shape a stronger future
