Black is Beautiful Fundraiser
Since the 1940s the Black/African American community in Santa Barbara has been engaging in organizing and civic leadership. Santa Barbara’s Black community members had a longstanding history of organizing around advocacy, equal opportunity, and safety for the betterment of Black lives.
The key to the success and sustainability of the community was their investment in institution building. Organizations like the George Washington Carver Club, which flourished in the the 1940s, worked to address educational inequities and raise scholarship money to send African American youth to college. The club held balls and galas frequently to help raise awareness to causes and to gather in community.
HJSB seeks to continue the legacies of our ancestors by honoring the traditions that were created in our community at a time when the Black organizations were thriving in an abundance of joy and love that built a resilient and sustaining Black/African American community.
Giving to the Black is Beautiful Fundraiser is a great opportunity for you to support and invest in Black communities.
