BLACK AUGUST 2026

Black August is more than a month. It is a call to remember, learn, organize, and build.

At the King Urban Life Center, we honor the sacrifices of those who came before us by investing in the next generation today. Through faith, education, leadership, community organizing, and neighborhood transformation, we believe history should inspire action.

This month, we will commemorate our ancestors, educate our community, celebrate Black excellence, support political prisoners, strengthen our neighborhoods, and continue the work of creating a more just future.

The struggle continues.
The work continues.
The hope continues.

Honor the Past. Shape the Present. Transform the Future.
