The State of Black AV

A Black History Month Virtual Assembly for Unity, Strategy & Change

About the Event

The State of Black AV is a Black History Month virtual gathering bringing together nonprofits, community leaders, creatives, educators, faith leaders, and residents from across the Antelope Valley.

This is more than a conversation — it’s a strategy session for real change.

Together, we will identify the current state of Black communities in the Antelope Valley, align our efforts, and build a shared vision for collective progress. This meeting is designed to unify our voices, organize our resources, and activate solutions that impact policy, funding, and representation.

Think of it as a modern, digital-day assembly of the people — rooted in the spirit of unity, empowerment, and forward movement.
