Black August
Funding & Justice
Resource Hub
Black August, born out of Black liberation, resistance, and justice movements, is a month dedicated to critical learning and analysis, reflection and study of our roles in oppressive or liberatory systems, and an opportunity to grow, connect, and prepare for the challenging work ahead.
From the Black Liberation Movement and the Black August Hip Hop Project to “Writing While Black” and how to fix classical arts, we invite you to join us each August in collective reflection where arts and culture are at the root of justice and liberation.
As we are reminded by ABFE, A Philanthropic Partnership for Black Communities, “We must be in it for the long haul.”
